This week on the Rivertowns Dispatch Podcast we spoke with the new Theater Director for the Irvington Theater Chad Austin. The Irvington Theater is a 432-seat theater located within Town Hall in Irvington and bills itself as the cultural heart of the Rivertowns since 1902. We discussed the role the arts play in a time of turmoil, his vision for the Irvington Theater, and the challenges of choosing an extraordinary life over an ordinary one.
