Ep. 95: Seaglass Theatre / Whaling Women

This is a very different and exciting podcast episode on so many levels! Welcome returning guest, Patrice Tiedeman, the artistic director of the Seaglass Theater Companywho was our guest on Podcast Episode: 78 and, composer Jodi Goble to In-Focus Podcast Number 95. This podcast focuses on the Seaglass Theater Company's world premiere of Whaling Women at the First Unitarian Church in New Bedford, Massachusetts. It is a lyrical score that marries composer Jodi Goble's original music with historically accurate sea chanteys, tunes, and lullabies of the 19th century. Whaling Women tells of love and loss - whether at sea chasing whales and braving the dangers of shipwreck, or on land-managing households and fighting for social justice in their communities. THE CAST INCLUDES Diana McVey as Betsey Morey, Helen Hassinger as Phebe Sherman, Melynda Davis as Amelia Piper, Patrice Tiedemann as Eliza Brock, Emily Harmon as Susan Veeder, Heather Gallagher as Ruth Post, and Raymond Veary as the Man in the Boat.
