Doug and Theresa discuss theater ONE MORE TIME and this one is a doozy! They gave themselves an assignment to create seasons for a regional LORT-style theater, a local arts space and a space that is created because The Mellon Foundation gave them a million dollars. It is a very fun assignment and also someone should hire them to DO THESE SEASONS!Next episode we start getting into movies! But for now, enjoy What Was I Saying ...

Lots of juicy stuff.SPOILER: Episode 6 is also about theater and we come up with proposals for seasons in a big regional theater, a local arts space and a new space that comes into existence because The Mellon Foundation gifts a million bucks. So, get ready for that!We will go back and share references for previous episodes, as they are PACKED full of references.

Doug and Theresa dig MORE and HARDER into the world of THEATER! We talk about where and how to start and also what bugs us about the way the proverbial sausage is made.

This week Doug and Theresa dip their toes into THEATER CULTURE! Or is it THEATRE CULTURE?! (Spoiler - we do not distinguish in this episode nor do we even discuss the spelling..) We start with the personal - the whys and whos that have led us into a life in the theater. It goes deep and so do we. Thanks for listening! Tune in for THEATER CULTURE P2 in two weeks!

Doug and Theresa get a little spicier and a little deeper in this edition of What Was I Saying ... (about) BOOK CULTURE. Formative books, books that you look back on and say - "hmmmmm maybe not...", and more! This is our 2nd episode and the last one (for now) specifically about books! So enjoy and tell us about books that hit hard for you.Wednesday after next, we will dig into THEATER!

In this very first, very special episode, Theresa and Doug introduce the podcast and dig deep into BOOKS and BOOK CULTURE, as they are both lifelong readers and also worked at and managed various bookstores over the years. So, they have opinions. And they love to talk about books and authors that rule.
