In this heartfelt episode of Afterpiece, hosts Billy and Annie Dragoo shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of theatre departments: the custodians. Titled Backstage Heroes: Giving Back to Our Custodians and Community, the episode shares inspiring stories of how theatre students and educators have shown their appreciation through acts of kindness and generosity. From collecting donations to gifting show shirts and sharing meals, these simple gestures honor the vital role custodians play in maintaining a thriving theatre environment. The Dragoos reflect on the importance of gratitude in the arts and offer creative ideas for fostering community spirit within and beyond the theatre walls. The episode concludes with the podcast’s signature closing: “Excellencia consuetudo est.”
