    PICKING UP YOUR CUES

    Oops, ya dropped em. Better pick em up! We’re trying out a new thing where we bring you a "special" episode each month. Instead of reviewing a specific show, we get to go ravenous on an element of theatre we find delicious. This month, Jared chose the art of picking up your cues. We’ll go as far back as Shakespeare, as far out as Meisner, and cover everything in between. #theatre #music #musical #musicaltheatre #broadway #offbroadway #theatrekid #podcast #theatrecouple #you #almost #maine #sanford #meisner #couples #engaged #pickingupcues #lights #john #lovely #love #like #follow #fyp MUSIC:Thank you Music_For_Videos on Pixabay for our theme song!https://pixabay.com/users/music_for_videos-26992513/REFERENCES:New York Timeshttps://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/16/theater/reviews/down-east-so-much-love-exciting-and-new.htmlBroadway Worldhttps://www.broadwayworld.com/people/John-Cariani/Bates.eduhttps://www.bates.edu/theater-dance/events/in-conversation-with-john-cariani/Portland Press Heraldhttps://www.pressherald.com/2020/01/16/maine-voices-live-john-cariani-talks-almost-maine-and-the-real-side-of-rural-life/Hudson Valley Shakespearehttps://hvshakespeare.org/American Association of Community Theatrehttps://aact.org/cue#:~:text=1)%20The%20last%20words%20of,(i.e.%20a%20Visual%20Cue).American Shakespeare Centerhttps://americanshakespearecenter.com/2021/08/cue-scripts/Writtenanddirectedbyhanohttps://www.instagram.com/p/DO2sIBNCTPV/?hl=en&img_index=7Theatre Avenue - YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCioVYvGA1E3dNtmhZnJUGlQ

    JOHN CARIANI: A Review

    As Gracious battles her frog symptoms, Jared introduces the actor, playwright, and all-around-great guy, John Cariani. A little bit of history, some interviews, some stories, and just a smidgeon of goofy. It’s the guy that brought us the play Almost, Maine, it’s… John Cariani!

    ALMOST, MAINE: A Series of Love Vignettes

    Jared and Gracious decided that the best way to fight off the chilly weather is to head to Maine (well, almost) and break down some love stories composed by the charming John Cariani, who brilliantly captured some couples who fall head-over-heels for each other, tumble out of love, and ask hard questions in a hysterical fashion. It’s… Almost, Maine.

    YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU: Part One

    Jared finishes his rant about the importance of “being specific” and goes on to discuss the hit-play by George Kaufman and Moss Hart (the dream-team). Their American play explores self-fulfillment through the lens of anti-establishment with a twist of romance and a spritz of insanity. You’ll get your fill of ballet practice, snake tanks, candies, and xylophones, with enough firecrackers to light this zany household ablaze for days.
