In this episode Lindsay turns the mic over to her good friend and oldest collaborator (and soon-to-be frequent guest), Marcus Newton to talk candidly about a topic she doesn't often share: her WHY. Lindsay constantly talks about the importance of finding your why, and figured she should practice what she preaches.
Kate Jaeger joins Lindsay to talk about her recent work in creating stories onstage in a new way that engages both the students involved and the audience. From an empowered Belle to a female Enjolras, Kate walks through her passion in creating theatre that is relevant to today’s audiences by telling classic stories through a modern lens… oh, and without changing the script.
Oh, the classic avoidance phrase used when explaining away issues in educational theatre. Poor production quality? Eh it’s a kid show. Problematic casting? Oh, well they’re just kids. Wrong. Today Village Theatre Kidstage’s Production Manager Aaron Alonso joins Lindsay to talk about why educational theatre matter and why representation is even more crucial at this level.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ve likely heard the buzz around the term “intimacy directing.” The intimate moments in a show are often the most difficult (and awkward) to navigate so Seattle based Intimacy Director, Cessa Betancourt, is joining us to discuss what intimacy directing is and how it impacts educators and community theatre makers.
