But not before one last banger: join us as we talk with Think Tank's Jacob Patterson about the past, present, and future of the gallery... and as we get a special visit from the creator of the last show at Think Tank -- RIP White Jesus -- comedian and filmmaker Hisham Fageeh.

Dragon Productions Theatre Company's Max Koknar, Ariel Aronica, and Jacob Vorperian join us to talk about All We Have To Fear: Party at the End of the World, their new theatre/game hybrid that uses Gather to recreate the experience of an immersive theatre space like the former Speakeasy in San Francisco, along with some tweaks to the system created by the Dragon to add a game layer to the proceedings. 

We dive in on the eve of the show's opening. For the curious amongst you: there's a handful of free tickets using the code NOPROFREE that are usable through the end of the month, and a $10 discount NOPRO once those free tickets are gone.

 

PLUS: early impressions of the Oculus Quest 2. (Check out our unboxing and first impression videos.)

(And yes, this is episode 269, I think I say 268 at the top because I was using the wrong document for the intro!)

Climate change was once a hidden crisis, but here in California it has taken the already dangerous time of year known as "fire season" and accelerated it to something apocalyptic in nature.

Writer-performer Monica Miklas and her director-producer Lauren Ludwig – the co-founders of LA's Capital W – join us to talk about Fire Season. This new socially-distanced production projects a collection of Miklas' essays on the nature of change itself via FM radio onto the landscape of the Santa Monica Mountains, which have themselves been touched by flames.

Tara O'Con is an experiential artist and transformation coach whose work you may be familiar with as a performer in Third Rail Projects' Then She Fell and The Grand Paradise. Tara's performance in Then She Fell is a key part of our host Noah Nelson's own immersive origin story.

In this After Dark episode, Noah catches up with Tara after her first day on the load out of Then She Fell to talk about the impact of that production on her professional and personal journey.

Note:

Tara is also offering NoPro Listeners a free transformation coaching session where you can talk about navigating big changes, finding clarity and perspective around a particular life challenge, getting unstuck (creatively or otherwise), goal setting, or simply a place for reflection to process the moment.  Get bonus content on Patreon
