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.

The Neurodivergent Pull of Theatre
Season 1 · Episode 1
lundi 22 juin 2026 • Duration 01:05:08
In the inaugural episode of Theatrically Authentic, hosts Sarah Atherton-Knight and Simon Scott explore why theatre feels so magnetic to neurodivergent people — both onstage and backstage.
From “performance brains” and “technical brains” to masking, hyperfocus, burnout, and the emotional intensity of live performance, this episode unpacks the unique relationship between neurodivergence and the theatre industry.
Sarah and Simon share their own journeys into theatre, discuss how working in the industry shaped their understanding of themselves, and reflect on the strange balance theatre creates between regulation and overwhelm.
Featuring discussions of Hamilton, Shakespeare performance, backstage life, and the emotional reality of making art collaboratively, this episode sets the stage for the rest of the series.
