Producers Neil Meron and Craig Zadan discuss their careers bringing musical theater to film and television, most notably, their innovative new NBC TV series "Smash," the show about the making of a Broadway musical. As it happens, Theater Talk co-host Michael Riedel is appearing as a "mean-spirited" Broadway columnist on the otherwise fictitious program in April.

Taped: 03-24-2012

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.

The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)

The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
