Archiving Technical Theater History

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.

After over a year on the sideline, I'm back.  It's been a challenging 13 months.  These first few podcasts are going to be rough and I look forward to working the kinks out.  Hang in there.  I've got a lot of good stuff coming your way.

“Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing."   - Muhammad Ali

" Greatness Lies within you.  Under adversity some break records, while others simply break.  But the truth is we all have it in us to be great, and our destiny shouldn't be left up to fate.  So rather than wait I say forge ahead and create a future you dictate, and then stick two fingers up to fate"    -  Georges St. Pierre  (MMA Champion)
