The June Episode of EtP will be delayed. I got ZERO responses when I put out calls for guests and have to go back to the drawing board. If there is anyone out there who would like to speak about Theatre in Ed on a podcast about why the arts are a powerful learning tool-- hit me up.

On this day, last year, I started editing the first episode of Exit the Proscenium.
Last night I finished up interviews for the first episode of Season 2.

29/01/2023

Today, I am flying back from Podfest Expo 2023 with so many ideas for expanding in Season Two: Memberships, Tiers which offer perks, ask my guests your own questions, a newsletter, a discount ticketing service. EtP is coming back, hitting hard.

In November of 2021, after a battle with illness had taken me out of work, I dedicated time to a side project I'd been envisioning since my time at NPR in 2011. I was inspired by my involvement with Rocky Horror, and shows I'd seen like "Sleep No More," "Then She Fell," "Tony and Tina's," and later "Drunk Shakespeare." Exit the Proscenium seeks to explore performance mediums which push the boundaries of what theatre is, how we experience stories, and why these things are an integral part of the human experience.
Featuring Richard Nelson discussing the first published and produced play written specifically for Zoom, Sal Piro, discussing the origins of Shadowcasting in Rocky Horror, and the creators of Drunk Shakespeare these mini-docs are the perfect intro courses to nontraditional theatre

The Signal Awards seeks to honor and celebrate the people and content that raise the bar for podcasting.

Hey Exit the Proscenium fans. Does EtP have fans? What do I call you guys? Anyway! If you've been curious about the actual performance abilities of the voice who's been lecturing about theatre for the past six months, I will be performing tonight with Braving the Bard in their Drunk production of Much Ado About Nothing!
The show will live stream from their Facebook. Here is the direct link: https://www.facebook.com/events/106632622072001

We commute, work, eat, exercise, meditate, sleep and procrastinate to them. They’re unobtrusive and highly disruptive. They’re uncannily authentic, stupid smart, and reliably surprising. They’re the voices we’d rather have in our head than our own.

20/06/2022

Two episodes left in Season 1.

20/06/2022

S1.E4 Immersive / Interactive Theatre update: Draft complete, ready for the mix. Projected release date 7/4. Hear Christy Casey discuss the medium and Greg Cioffi talk about one of its most enduring and celebrated shows; Tony 'n Tina's Wedding

06/06/2022

This episode has seen as many downloads in one day as last month's has yet.

05/06/2022

HAPPY PRIDE! Tomorrow, get ready to hear from Sal Piro, the father of shadowcasting, three previous directors of the New York City Cast, veteran shadowcasters from across the country, and phantom and a director from a stage show, as Exit the Proscenium asks "So what is 'Rocky Horror,' anyway?"

This piece has been in the works for a very long time for me, some of the people I interviewed for the original, unfinished, version are no longer with us, so it might be really cool to hear from them again, and it would mean a lot if you all would listen and share.
