Sounds of Knoxville Theatre Podcast

There are all kinds of theatre productions that one can enjoy: plays, musicals, monologues, shorts... Well, a different type of theatrical production is coming to Knoxville and I have an interview with Noah McBrayer Jones, the director of Clever By Half Productions who is staging an audience participation murder mystery called "HINT" in February. In addition to that conversation, I have the latest in productions and auditions in the Knoxville area for the week of Jan 26-Feb 1, 2018.

Welcome to Episode 55 of the Sounds of Knoxville Theatre Podcast! This is the show that's all about theatre here in Knoxville and the surrounding counties. This week is the 3rd Annual Clayton Center for the Arts Community Theatre Festival. One of the participating theatres in the festival this year is a new group called Free Spirit Performing Arts and I'll be speaking to one of its founders, Dustin Payne, in a few minutes about that new company and the show they're bringing to the Festival this year.

Lots of great shows making up the midsummer theatre world in East Tennessee this weekend - from a conniving traveling salesman to a little Swiss Miss in the hills of East Tennessee, from a bunch of galvanized Frenchmen yearning to wave their flags over a barricade to Shakespeare back in the Square, there's a lot to talk about. Join me, won't you?

My special guests this week are theme park experts Gary and Phillip Meade from Rexandthebeast.com. They will be discussing the art of immersive entertainment, from "dark rides" like Pirates of the Caribbean to traditional Haunted Houses, theatre exists in many different forms around the world and experience-based entertainment continues to be extremely popular.
