ARC (Arts Review & Commentary)

On this episode of ARC, I chat with my good friend Gary Sullivan about our time together in local community theatre, and how working from home during the pandemic allowed us to watch stuff that we'd never seen. For Gary, it was old B-movies. Gary gives me a good history lesson on what the movie-going habits were like for audiences almost a century ago, and what hidden gems one could find. We also talk about our shared experiences playing the same role in the play "12 Angry Men."
