Have a seat in the Green Room and listen to the “groupies” as they engage in behind-the-scenes theater discussions and all things related to running a community theater and putting on a great show!
Topics such as the philosophy of set design, how to sell more tickets, effective fundraising for community theaters, theater accessibility, inclusive casting in theater, show selection, and even what the hell is wrong with audiences/directors/actors are thoroughly covered and sometimes even researched.
In addition show news, reviews and even trips to the Tangentverse (you’ll have to listen to find out what this is)!
Listen to the latest episodes below or on your favorite podcasting platform.
Episode 78: "Do You Hear the People Sing?" Choosing Auditions Songs vs. Director's Choice – The Art & Business of Community Theater
The Groupies return to discuss which is better, choosing your own song to sing at auditions or having the director choose them. Robert Yoman takes them on a merry trip through the Tangentverse. Ronald Roberts surprises everyone with his go to song for musicals and Carol's personal comment causes David Wahr to apologize to an entire country! You got to hear it to believe it! All this and Kathleen McBee has a review of a new show at the Purple Rose Theater! Join us!
