    The Play That Goes Wrong... Goes Wrong

    Narrator/actress Rebecca Brokaw-Sands (no relation to Tom Brokaw, apparently) pops by to regale us with stories of her time on The Play That Goes Wrong, among others. What happens when there's a stage accident within an accident? What's planned and what isn't? What is this, Inception?  And, surprise surprise, prop guns continue to be a nuisance. Who'da thunk!

    Waiting for... Hamlet? (with Matthieu Protin)

    Bienvenue! Today we're in Paris speaking with French performer / educator / writer / Beckett expert (Beckettxpert?) Matthieu Protin about : soliloquys with a mouth full of blood, title characters that go AWOL, saving ailing spectators, and the dangers of classical raked stages -- is it worse to be sliding off the stage, or in the audience waiting to get smushed? Roll with us on this one.

    Big Ham is Watching (with Paul Savage) at the Edinburgh Fringe

Check out Hopes Under the Hammer at Just the Tonic: The Caves at Edinburgh Fringe.

    The Capo Caper (with the creative team of After the Rainbow) at Edinburgh Fringe

    Three rays of sunshine named Amy McClain, Molly Kittle, and Michele Korb take a brief break from their Edinburgh Fringe craziness to giggle over a beer and chat about their Wizard of Oz-inspired "midlife musical" After the Rainbow, and what happens when your journey into Oz doesn't go as smoothly as planned. What if you don't have the budget for a real flying monkey? What do you do when you bonk your guitar out of tune mid-show? And is a capo really a castrated male chicken*? *Nope, that's a capon. Oops.

    Kids, yo...they're wild (Minisode with Tosin Morohunfola)

    We could all use a laugh about now, right? Guest Tosin Morohunfola tells some tales of his many storied years in Kansas City and Chicago theatre, including the time he could have gotten himself fired for a slipup on a kid's show, and a couple of times where he may or may not have completely screwed up the entire run of a show... @tosin.morohunfola

    Trick? Or treat?

    Beauty and the Beast: Dr. Thunder edition (with Ben Auxier)

    Chicago actor/producer Ben Auxier has bad flashbacks to high school, when a budget version of Beauty and the Beast utterly disregards such trivial things as, oh, actor safety...

    A Real Sh**show (minisode with Meg Poole and Tara Costello)

    Our guest Tara Costello gets "pissed off" when a volatile castmate does the unthinkable to sauce up a Shakespeare history play. And speaking of bodily functions... Megan Poole bravely bares her story of when heartbreak and indigestion collide during a gut-wrenching dress tech for 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.

    You Get Back On the Horse (feat. Patrick Croce, Matt Clanton and Adrian Jacobs)

    Do real guns and theatre mix? Not well for our first guest, Adrian Jacobs, who probably shouldn't be alive right now. Matt Clanton of Act Tactical lends his expertise on live firearms and performance. Then, Patrick Croce answers the ever-prevalent question, what do you do when you fall off the horse? ... Now, what about when you're in character and hundreds of people are watching you eat dirt?

    Unicorns and Unitards: As Shakespeare Intended (feat. Elizabeth Ann Miller)

    Elizabeth Ann Miller drops in to get wine-tipsy with me and talk about her Atlanta-based company, Shakespeare on Draught -- which entails all of the drunken, underrehearsed debauchery characteristic of Billy Shakes' era -- and some of the silly and inspiring stories that have arisen from this colossally successful whim. Actors, if you're more comfortable with prepared, rehearsed, poetic, sanctimonious, practiced, expected Shakespeare... then perhaps this isn't for you! @shakespeareondraught www.shakespeareondraught.com
