Part 2 of our marathon recording session. We pull in Alanna and Aaron again for a quick chat and we get to talk to Nicole Gordon Hanks and Dalton Jones. Once again visiting with several cast and crew of The Wizard of Oz. Tons of fun and we must do it again soon.
All the divas in one room? Where could this possibly go? Will we have mic chaos? Absolutely. Will there be amazing special guests to the show? Of course. Is this episode a little on the short side? Well, whaddya know, it is. Enjoy.
The Diva Dads are on tonight! We aren't sure what is on the docket, but it is going to be great fun!!

The Diva Dads, well, at least half of the cast, interview TTC's very own Willy Wonka!
Rodney is off doing his own thing...
William Shirley, 10 out of 10 on the Armineh Davis Kindness Scale, left us a year ago in a pandemic to pursue his dreams in the very cold state of Michigan. Having been entirely isolated in his apartment for the year, William could not wait to catch up with his TTC family.
This stuff also happens:
Some of the TTC Teens made their #TTCDivaDads return to breakdown Spacegirl the Musical, coming soon. Rodney and Dana recorded TOGETHER, which meant Dana was lucky enough to try Rod’s newest cocktail…. Or was he? Cynthia performer her now iconic Mike Kilgore impression, and we all learned the importance of always saving the last one for Andy.
DRINK RECIPE:
To a cocktail shaker, add:
2 oz white rum
0.5 oz gunpowder green tea simple syrup*
0.4 oz fresh lime juice
0.4 oz fresh lemon juice
4 drops black lemon bitters or daiquiri bitters
4 drops sea salt saline solution
Shake with ice. You want quite a bit of dilution from your ice, so either shake with wet ice or with some crushed ice in with your larger ice. You could also add 1/3 oz of ice-cold water to your shaker if you do not have wet ice or crushed ice available, or if you simply want more dilution to your daiquiri. Double-strain into a chilled glass. You want to double-strain in order to avoid getting small ice chips in your drink.

Bio:
William is originally from Austin, Texas. He first found TTC in 2017 when he auditioned for BIG RIVER. Over the next three years, he participated in three other shows: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, SHE LOVES ME, and ROCK OF AGES. He was also the assistant stage manager for the 2019 production of THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW.
William received his bachelor's degree in Forensic and Investigative Science at Texas A&M University last May, and he moved to East Lansing, Michigan in August. He is currently working on a dual degree program at Michigan State University, pursuing a masters degree in Forensic Chemistry and a PhD in Chemistry. TTC provided a constant home and friendship for William while living in BCS, and he is very thankful for the theatre and all his friends there!
To celebrate surviving the Texas Snowpocolypse, Dobson and the Dads (and Cynthia!) decided to celebrate by inviting their 7 listeners to join the episode! We welcomed Jennifer Reiley, Keri Kempf, Cody Arn, Linda Bendiksen, Cousin Angelique, and Parker Greer to catch up and discuss how they spent their week of winter.
THIS STUFF ALSO HAPPENS:
We had a When Adrienne and Terri Cried and talked a bit about In the Heights, and we got a science lesson from Senora Bendiksen about why robins were suddenly bouncing around all of our yards. Thanks to Cousin Angelique, we got to hear Dana go REAL country, and finally…. FINALLY the incomparable SOUL BROWN made his TTC Diva Dads debut!

We had a fantastic show with Hanna Shihdanian! We learned about many theatre experiences which she has made an impact on TTC since her arrival in 2018. Originally from Boston, Hannah moved to BCS in June, 2018, just in time to see Rock of Ages with TTC! Immediately wanting to get involved, Hannah applied to choreograph Joseph and the Amazing..., and appeared on stage as Reno Sweeney in TTC's Anything Goes. She also performed in the trio in Little Shop of Horrors in 2020.
Hannah is an Equity Member Candidate and has performed professionally with the American Repertory Theater (directed by Diane Paulus), Greater Boston Stage Company, ToUch Performance Art, Hackmatack Playhouse, Reagle Music Theatre, and others. She was the Resident Choreographer for two non-profit children's theatres in the Boston Area, and has choreographed for colleges, community theatres, and schools since 2010. In the fall of 2019, she traveled back to Boston to perform in a professional production of 42nd Street.
Hannah is a certified fitness professional and launched her own virtual dance/fitness company, HDC, in April of 2020. HDC is a diverse community of teaching artists from around the country with the mission of empowering women, POC, the BLM, and the LGBTQ+ Community.
As a Mom of 3, she believes that there is no limit to what women can achieve.
