  • #16 - Madeleine Taylor-Gregg and Madeline Hunter Smith (Theatre BSMT)

    Welcome to The Breakfast Dish! Dance, music, visual art, theatre and get-to-know-you conversations with the artists behind the work. Join Griffin Cork and his mom, Karen Johnson-Diamond every Monday morning as they meet the creators of today's digital offerings. This podcast is dairy and gluten free!

    This episode is a double bill (in more ways that one)! Karen and Griffin are joined by Madeline Hunter Smith and Madeleine Taylor-Gregg to chat about Theatre BSMT's "Bonniedale" - Bonnidale is a explorative digital horror anthology that is releasing new stories weekly, and wanted to chat about Smith's "Hello Kate" - a voyeuristic, found-footage horror story spawned from her strange and intense desire to be a part of something during lockdown. The only thing scarier than being alone is suddenly discovering that you aren’t.
