Episode Details

In this episode, Adam sits down with Molly Clark, Director of Cal Poly Arts, to talk about the business of performing arts and what it takes to curate a show-stopping season. Molly shares behind-the-scenes insights into booking performances, balancing financial wins with artistic risks, and why some acts resonate while others take time to find their audience.

They also discuss the surprising show that sold out for the first time in 14 years, the challenges of securing Broadway-level productions for a mid-sized market, and how she’s working to diversify the arts scene in San Luis Obispo. Plus, Molly reveals the one artist she’d book tomorrow if budget wasn’t an issue—and let’s just say, Adam did not see it coming.
