Stories going from the big screen to the stage. It is one of the mostly highly debated ideas in theatre right now. Are commercialized shows overpowering broadway? Do these movies to stage productions add anything to theatre? We chat about this, and of course get a bit sidetracked along the way.

Also, we want your thoughts on the episode and your embarrassing theatre stories! Listen to the end!
