    BONUS-Hey we're working!

    Hey lookit we both have theatre jobs we're doing the thing guysssssss! This is a special bonus episode that we recorded on our AEA days off (while we probably should have been on vocal rest) to talk about the magic of making theatre in the waning days of our fading republic, the foibles and vicissitudes of putting the thing together, and the reality of being dumb fleshy sacks of meat and electrical impulses tripping the light fantastic with a crowd of strangers sitting in darkened communion together. ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ We're on Instagram! @TheActorsBookshelf Follow The Actors Bookshelf on Twitter @actorsbookshelf and Bluesky @theactorsbookshelf Follow Patrick on Instagram @dfwpadraig Follow Dan on Instagram @the.other.dan.stevens Questions?

    11-The Method (Chapter 8 )

    We're back with Isaac Butler and the incredible history of the evolution of acting technique! This one has been in the works for a Minute, y'all and we're very excited to be dropping it into your feed now. In this one we experiment with bringing some outside voices into the pod. Thanks a million and a half to our loving contributors. Please, listeners, let us know if this is the kind of thing you'd like to hear more in future episodes. Let us know if you think there are other pods out there we could be reaching out to for crossover episodes! Let us know, we beg you, that you're out there and that we exist. We're both in production mode for in-person performance work, so keep an eye on the feed because it might be a little inconsistent for the next couple months. ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~ We're on Instagram! @TheActorsBookshelf Follow The Actors Bookshelf on Twitter @actorsbookshelf and Bluesky @theactorsbookshelf Follow Patrick on Instagram @dfwpadraig Follow Dan on Instagram @the.other.dan.stevens Questions?
