In this episode, I have a chat with Brandon Whited. He is the Artistic Director and Curator of the Re: Emerge Dance Festival. The festival will take place June 17-20 at Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara. It will be a hybrid of live and online dance performances from all over the country. Brandon and I talk about all the various aspects of putting on a festival like this from beginning to end, and how to navigate through putting on an event as Covid/pandemic protocols are starting to ease up.

Jim On The Air (JOTA for short) episode 15 - I interview the 3 actors who play the 3 sisters in... THREE SISTERS by Anton Chekhov. These young actors who are in the UCSB BFA program are finally getting a chance to be on a live stage after a year and a half doing theater online due to the pandemic. We talk about life as an actor before and after Covid, how they prepare for their roles, and what's next for the future. It was an honor and a privilege to get to talk to these young ladies as they prepare to go back on stage for the first time in a long time!

I talk about my experience with getting the Covid Vaccine, my thoughts about it, and the newest phase of the pandemic.

In this episode, Executive Director of Center Stage Theater, Teri Ball and I discuss the new guidelines for indoor theaters to open as the Covid-19 Pandemic is entering its second year.

In this episode, I take a look behind the scenes at Center Stage Theater in Santa Barbara. I had a chance to visit with Technical Director Antonio Cruz, and Assistant Technical Director Kai Kogo at CST, and I learned what it takes to put on a show especially during a pandemic!

After taking a LONG hiatus, my podcast "Jim on the Air" or JOTA for short is back! It's been almost a year, but I'm looking forward to providing some fresh new content! Enjoy!
