This week on the Mississippi Arts Hour, we sit down with playwright and director Topher Payne to talk about bringing ‘The Attala County Garden Club’ to life on stage at New Stage Theatre. Known for his sharp wit and deep love of Southern storytelling, Payne shares insight into his creative process such as what drew him to this story, how he approaches directing his own work, and the unique dynamics of staging a piece so rooted in Mississippi culture and community. From page to performance, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at how a playwright shapes not just the script, but the entire theatrical experience.
