The Backstage Show is a podcast about theatre, hosted by two guys who have been involved in several community theatres in the Philadelphia suburbs, in various capacities, for many years. We discuss a variety of topics in a conversational manner—you don't need to be involved with theatre to listen, though you may find things more of interest if you are. Each topic we discuss will span several weekly podcast episodes in series. It's basically one conversation divided into bite-size chunks so you're not stuck listening to us ramble on for hours at a time.
