Invitation to Our New Show
TRANSCRIPT: Hi. This is Emily Rainbow Davis, Artistic Director of Messenger Theatre Company and the creator of The Dragoning. I’m just popping into the feed here to let you know about our new show, The Defense. It has a lot of themes in common with The Dragoning but it takes place in a different speculative fictional universe. We’ll share the first episode here after it launches on February 8th but before then, I wanted to specifically invite you, our amazing Dragoning listeners, to come join us for the live recording of the first four episodes of our new show. If you can get to Brooklyn on Sunday, January 21st at 7pm, you can contribute your applause, your voices, your presence, to the atmosphere of The Defense. (Edit to say that this applies for our next show on February 11th as well. And the shows in March and April!)
Tickets are $10 via Jalopy Theatre’s website (that link will be in the show notes) and Dragoning listeners can get half price tickets by entering the code: ERD8YM616M
And at the door, all you need do is say Dragon to the ticket seller and half priced tickets will be yours.
Come peek behind the curtain of audio drama podcast making. You can be the first to hear The Defense.

On Spotify, you can already subscribe to The Defense. Other platforms available soon.
Thanks for keeping The Dragoning in your feed. I am writing a third season so stick with us!
But meanwhile, we’d love to have you over at the Defense. -
