  • Summary

  • Aurin Squire’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing unexpected opportunities. Originally on the path to journalism, a paperwork mix-up in college led him into the world of film and theater. That detour launched him into a multi-faceted career as a writer, producer, and playwright. From producing hit TV shows like This Is Us, The Good Fight, and Evil, to contributing articles to outlets like the Chicago Tribune and ESPN, Aurin has honed his storytelling craft across various mediums. Now, he’s set to make his Broadway debut as the book writer of A Wonderful World, the new Louis Armstrong musical opening November 11 at Studio 54. In this conversation, Aurin reflects on the blend of chaos and order in producing for TV versus theater, highlighting how each medium shapes his creative process. He discusses how his Miami upbringing, surrounded by diverse communities, deeply influenced his voice as a writer. Aurin also touches on his passion for telling complex stories through race, identity, and history. Whether he’s sharing how Armstrong’s four wives shaped the musical’s structure or offering advice on following uncomfortable opportunities, Aurin’s insights are both inspiring and practical.
