In this episode: Taren Sterry has been performing her one woman show, 180 DAYS, as a tool to help raise awareness and volunteers for the Visiting Nurse Service of New York. Here she tells us how that all came to be! In the wake of air travel's recent headaches, Alex Lyras' show, THE COMMON AIR, certainly feels timely. Alex and director Robert McCaskill stop by to discuss the show. Actors Alysia Reiner and Jack Gwaltney tell us about MODOTTI, and discuss the period and history that inspired the show. Clubbed Thumb launches it's three-show summer "festival" with DOT, and Playwright Kate E. Ryan and composer Mike Iveson tell us about the show and the producing organization. More from Planet Connections Festivity, this time, with the "sequel" to a Midsummer Night's Dream, THE THYME OF THE SEASON, and playwright Duncan Pflaster and co-conceiver/actor Clara Barton Green tell us about it. UNCLE SHELBY'S WUNDERPANTRY OF POSSIBILITIES will also grace the stages at Planet Connections Festivity, and writers Dan Moyer, Ben Forster and Producer Nathaniel Kent discuss their hunt for a vanished theme park.
