Wannsee

Friend and fellow Monkeyman, Leeman Kessler has invited friends to viewings of Conspiracy – in its movie form – for years. This year, one day before the anniversary of that film’s depicted event(The Wannsee Conference), he’s presenting a free reading of the script as it was adapted for the stage.

A very special guest, the author of the script and teleplay, Loring Mandel, will be in attendance and will be taking questions after the presentation. Far less impressively, I, your humble podcast host, will be one of the readers.

We’d all love to see you there.

Individually, Tim Lindsay, Jeremy Knowles, and Seth Drabinsky are all forces with which to be reckoned. It’s only when their powers combine, however, that the magic of Breathe.Feel.Love can occur.

There were 10 interviews before this one… so it’s appropriate that, by talking about a show that’ll rock as hard as Hedwig and the Angry Inch, WalkLeft, the Podcast has gone to 11!

It takes a special kind of actor to do the words of William Shakespeare justice. It takes a special kind of person to take theatre to the people who would benefit from it. Sometimes, that’s the same individual – as in the case of Victoria Urquhart, a co-founder of the Spur-Of-The-Moment Shakespeare Collective.

The story of their projects starts like many others, but the twist behind the origins of their Shakespeare-In-Hospitals program warms my heart. And now they’re sharing that performance material as a showcase event which will also include anecdotes from the experiences they’ve had thus far. Enjoy this glimpse into their past and process.

You might know Tara Litvack as a musical director or perhaps as an accompanist. You might know her as a vocal coach, conductor, or arranger. She’s now also a producer and the podcast’s first guest inviting you to a musical theatre event.

Set Those Sails: A Night of William Finn will take place on one night only, December 14th, and features a long list of talented vocalists who will be singing Ms. Litvack’s new arrangements of Mr. Finn’s songs.
