After a long time away, a new beginning is here. Welcome to Take 2. A look in and around the the world of technical theater, research, writing, travel and the community of the arts.

I know you have list of questions and I look forward to addressing them.

Let's go.

It has been a long time since we last engaged with one another and start fresh. Welcome to Take 2 - Episode 1.

It has been over two years since our last podcast and a lot has happened since. While we don't dive completely into it right now, this is just a warm-up for what is coming up next.

We really thank you for being so patient.

We have a lot of kinks to work out before we get going in full. We'll be talking soon! We look forward to you listening.

Production Manager, Technical Director, Graduate Student, Ana Aguilera joins me in a brief conversation about some of the current topics happening in today's theater world.
