The Backstage Show

Glen and Jim sit down with independent filmmaker Steve Niles (S&N Films), who’s also involved with community theatre, to discuss the similarities and differences he’s found between the two.

Everyone is inspired by something. In this episode, Glen and Jim discuss the shows that inspired them, running down another top ten, this time of the shows that have influenced them the most in their community theatre escapades.

In this two-part series, Jim and Glen walk you through the different types of theatre sets and what’s involved in their construction. This high-level overview gives you an idea of how community theatre sets come together.

Glen and Jim invite you along as they explore a theatre where they’ve both spent some time working, “The Barn” (as it’s colloquially known) in Jeffersonville, Pennsylvania. Joining them on their journey is Steve DiNenno, frequent collaborator, friend, and Barn board member.

Sure, Glen and Jim have worked at many different theatres in the Philadelphia suburbs, but none of them have been perfect. In this episode, they discuss the bad and the good and try to hash out what would be their ideal community theatre.

Because there’s not enough fooling around on this podcast already, Jim and Glen let out all the stops for an episode dedicated to the theatrical fool, exploring its past, discussing its present, and presenting its future in a three-act, four-hour radio play.
