Thanks for tuning in to Best Show Ever, a podcast presented by The Englert Theatre. Welcome to the season 4 finale episode. We knew we’d have to make this one extra special so we asked one of our own, one of our very best, Craig Owsley, to join us this week. Craig is not only the box office lead for the Englert, he’s also been doing security and admissions for venues across Iowa City for almost 30 years.
