About this Podcast:
Theatrically Authentic is a behind-the-scenes theatre podcast exploring musical theatre, performance, and fandom through a neurodivergent lens. Hosted by Autistic theatre-makers Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott, who have worked both onstage and backstage, the series examines the emotional, structural, and creative realities of making theatre in an industry built around unspoken rules. From audition culture and masking to hyperfixation, character analysis, post-show grief, and Autistic-coded characters, each episode explores why theatre resonates so deeply with neurodivergent minds. Blending industry insight, deep-dive musical analysis, and unapologetic theatre kid energy, Theatrically Authentic is for performers, technicians, creatives, and fans who love theatre deeply — and want to challenge how the industry treats the people who make it. 🎧 Theatrically Authentic is available on <a href="https://open.spotify.co
