In Boise we give everything a standing ovation, which feels great for performers, but what does it do for the quality of our art? In this episode, host Emma Arnold chats with Jodi Eichelberger (Story Story Night, Alley Rep, BCT) about the pros and cons of Boise’s generous crowds. And, Jodi shares his favorite Story Story Night standing O and (maybe?) changes Emma’s mind about wanting to sit things out.

Find out more about the production of "Cabaret" that's coming to the Alley Repertory Theater in December, co-directed by Jodi.
