The Art & Business of Community Theater

The groupies discuss Children's Theater and the reasons for doing it. Ron and Bill reveal their legal issues with each other. Dave reveals a classic play that he's never liked and Brian gives his review of the Broadway show, "Shucked". All that and a Tangentverse moment featuring Candy Corn!

This is it folks! The big 5 0! Almost all the groupies are here to welcome Dr. Bill McCloskey into the fold as they finally discuss - The Bard! Also the Green Room Groupies discuss The Croswell's hilarious production of, "The Play That Goes Wrong". Come join us in our celebration.

Hey Hey we're the Groupies and our De Facto leader (Dave) has titled this episode, "Ads, Sponsors and Donors, OH MY!"

The gang discusses how to find them, what the differences between the three are. Brian gives a review of The Lion King, Dave makes a subtle suggestion (Not!) for directing Annie and Ron, Kathleen and Bob are all dragged into multiple Tangentverse discussions.

This week the Green Room Groupies ask the question, "How do you know what kind of shows your audience wants to see"?

Dave & brian pick on Bob about his favorite musical. Ron goes out of his lane with a wise, but non sports reference and Kathleen gives her review of "A Jagged Little Pill".

The Green Room Groupies discuss... The Green Room! Or is it a light beige? Dave reflects on his one missed entrance. Kathleen gives a review of Becky's New Car. Bob describes the horror of working with Toto (the dog, not the band). And Dave steals Ron's sports analogy.

The Green Room Groupies return to discuss Banned Shows! Dave and Ron talk about what wise people once told them. Kathleen surprises everyone by volunteering to direct "A View From The Bridge" Bob revisits his love for Fruit Loops while Brian obsesses over nudity on stage. All this and we discover that Dave has played Daddy Warbucks twice!!!! (Yeah, we were shocked as well!)

While Ron is still away, the OG group discusses the good, the bad and the ugly in dealing with other creative people. Dave throws out a Hamilton reference, Bob promotes Vernors and Brian surprises everyone by throwing out a sports reference.

The groupies return, sadly minus Ron, to discuss the changes in language during auditions as well as inclusive casting. Dave does a review of a recently seen show, Bob asks the groupies if they enjoy making an audience laugh, cry or sit in complete silence and awe, and Brian wonders how Groupie Carol is going to react to some of the opinions given. It's a must listen to folks!!!

In another thrilling installment, The Green Room Groupies discuss Sensory Friendly Performances along with local happenings with neighboring theater groups. A follow up on "The Play That Goes Wrong" and we find out which Groupies started by seeing theater and which by acting in theater.

This time the Green Room Groupies discuss the highs and lows of being a community theater director. Praise is given to Ron for his directorial debut. Ron responds with a great sports analogy! Bob desperately seeks a moment in the Tangentverse and when David is suddenly pulled away for several minutes, Kathleen watches in horror as Brian takes ove! Gasp!
