  • Trailer: Welcome to Theatrically Authentic
    Jun 17 2026

    Please take your seats — the performance is about to begin!


    Welcome to Theatrically Authentic, a behind-the-scenes theatre podcast exploring musical theatre, performance, fandom, and neurodivergent creativity through an autistic cultural lens. Part of the Autistic Culture Podcast Network.


    Hosted by Autistic theatre-makers Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott, the series dives into the emotional and structural realities of theatre-making in an industry built around unspoken rules. From backstage culture and audition masking to hyperfixation, character analysis, autistic-coded roles, and the grief of closing night, each episode explores why theatre resonates so deeply with neurodivergent minds.

    Whether you're a performer, technician, creative, or lifelong theatre kid, Theatrically Authentic invites you into a space where a love of theatre and the realities of neurodivergence can finally take centre stage.
