15 Good Minutes

Take a look at what goes on behind the scenes at 15GM; What it takes to put a production together; How the team researches topics; How we decide when we're going to sing - and what; How we - sometimes, make mistakes; Why the crew is ganging up on Kirk; Why is Shy crying; and who's on the 15GM team? We had a blast bringing you Season II and look forward to bigger things this fall. Comment below with your suggestions and thoughts - and thanks, so much, for being a follower/fan of 15 Good Minutes!
