SHOP TALK

Nicole & Zach sit down with Alaina Manchester, Dramashop Creative Adviser and Director of Performing & Visual Arts at Gannon University, Emily Cassano, Theatre Director at Penn State Behrend, and Domenic Del Greco, Youtheatre / Education Director at the Erie Playhouse to talk about the evolution of the theatre culture surrounding intimacy and combat on stage. How are they similar? How does one train? Why is this such an important conversation? Good lessons for actors - and directors - at all levels.

Nicole Lossie is joined by Dramashop artistic director Zach Flock and creative adviser Alaina Manchester to talk about getting started in theatre, why it's okay to feel your feelings and what it means to say "you can't do theatre wrong."

Join us for a live recording session of SHOP TALK, the official Dramashop podcast, hosted by Nicole Lossie.

In this episode, we’re talking theatre in process. What does it mean? What exactly is our process at Dramashop, and how does process differ from person to person? Nicole talks with Dramashop artistic director Zach Flock, SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS actors Nora Schillinger (board member) and Michael Haas (director of operations & outreach), and creative team members Jessica Annunziata and Adam Rossi. Plus, we’ll open it up to questions and comments from the audience during our first ever SHOP TALK LIVE!

"Am I falling into nothingness or flying into something so sublime?" Dramashop artistic director Zach Flock discusses FUN HOME with assistant director Patrick Thiem, music director Kate Thiem and SHOP TALK producer Nicole Lossie.

Tickets for this and all performances available at dramashop.org.
