At The Elephants with Rob Morris

Nine years and three deans apart in Drama Directing--today on AtE the lovely Marina from Brazil is here to dish on how things have changed in our shared major, the journey as an international student, the dreaded visa process and (my favorite) the sensibilities of Gen Z and the differences in language in culture looking at America from the outside-in. Don't miss it!

Shot AT THE ELEPHANTS WITH ROB MORRIS, this mini-episode contains some wonderful chats with Golden Pickles (50 years out) from (U)NCSA.

David Parker, Joyce Actor & Margaret Holtz share their stories of how they ended up at this brand new thing called the North Carolina School of the Arts in the 1969 Summer of Love. David and Margaret shared that of course at that time, schools were not integrated where they were educated but thanks to the North Carolina Black Theater Festival, they met one Lesley Hunt and that was that. All this and more on At The Elephants this week don't miss it!

UNCSA had its first ever homecoming! But there's no sports game right? What once was PICKLESTOCK is reinvented! What did it consist of? Who was there? How could it be better? All this and more this week on At The Elephants! Don't miss it!

Stay tuned for chats with some Golden Pickles (50 years out) recorded AT THE ACTUAL ELEPHANTS! Are ya kidding me? No I am not. Coming soon on AtE. Don't miss it!

Finally got the band leader on the talk show as a guest after many years. For those that don't know, Daniel is the composer and performer of At The Elephants music (both intro and outro were borrowed from his album PUNK PHILOSOPHY). We get into the story of how the music got on the podcast and even better why it was written! What makes a musical sound like Disney? How do we save the American Musical? All this is so much more on AtE! Don't miss it!

The boys are back in the closet! Brandon is back At The Elephants continuing the deep dive with Rob about how two best friends have had such different journeys.

We got a double dancer! That's right HS and Undergrad for Sofia from Brazil. We got into the on-campus life of an international student and really dug into the experience of traveling to the states to do the art. Also a big fan of the "was this too much for you at that age" conversation. For Sophia, well you go watch and listen and she can tell you. Don't miss it!

James Carey joins us LIVE (not really) from Capitol Hill! We got into his transition from management of stages to managing events in our nations diplomatic epicenter! Love takes us in all sorts of directions and Mr. Carey shows us that today on AT. THE. ELEPHANTS! Don't miss it.

I absolutely ADORE Sara Seger and so should you. Sara is one of the first pickles I met in my entire School of the Arts journey. OG. Listen to us catch up and talk RIOULT, the rare 4-year High School NCSA experience, dance as a lifetime career and so much more. Don't miss it!
