The Sweet Tea Shakespeare Podcast

Alina, Adrian, and Harmony join the podcast to do a little ASMR, record an audition for your favorite meditation app, and talk about Sweet Tea Shakespeare's upcoming production of Everybody. Also included: why it's important to stay ripped in the afterlife, a fascinating new concept for a dating app, and many gleeful needle drops of the Danse Macabre (it's royalty-free on YouTube and no one can stop me.) Tune in for the most fun you'll ever have learning about death!

Mike Canino, Nathan Pearce, and Traycie Kuhn-Zapata come on the podcast to talk about the fuzzy feels and darker themes of The Merry Wives of Windsor. Does Falstaff have it coming? Is Master Page the secret hero of the show? And, of course, is Olivia Rodrigo a Shakespearean at heart? Join us and find out!

Join Amber James, Traycie Kuhn-Zapata, and new host Zoë Nagel (hello!) as we talk about Sweet Tea's touring school production of Julius Caesar. Topics also include finding silliness in tragedy, the advantages of staging a production with only four actors, and the enduring relevance of Mean Girls. 

Kathryn Womelsduff joins the podcast again to chat about Green Tea's production of The Merry Wives of Windsor and to definitively solve the age-old problem: how do we get kids interested in Shakespeare!? Join us as we talk about staging marital strife with youth actors, what a strange play Merry Wives is, and the significance of community in theater.

Sweet Tea Shakespeare Director of Outreach, Adrienne Trego, hosts a panel conversation between STS Artistic Director, Jeremy Fiebig, and drag artist Hannah Rae Rinse about the connections between Shakespeare and Drag.

Two directors discuss with Judson what makes a Sweet Tea adaptation special, what secret project they're working on, and where are the best places to travel.

Join us as an unconventional trio discusses our Green Tea program and young artists, as well as the difference between Sweet Tea Shakespeare Fayetteville and Raleigh. We had a great time recording this and hope you have one, too!

On this hot-take-filled episode, it's only a matter of time before the gang gets mad. How soon will it be? Find out on this episode of the STS Podcast!
