Exit the Proscenium Makes History

What do the TARDIS, the Delorean, H.G. Wells, and the Theatre have in common?  They can all take you to any point in history.  In the final episode of our inaugural season,   thank you, to those who have been with me since the start, and thank you to those tuning in for the first time-- we will be exploring  the field of Living History, through the lens of some of the most famous living history museums, local reenactors, and even visit the Renn Faire (which is not actually living history, as we will discuss.)   Guests include: Deirdre Jones Cardwell  Programming Lead for Actor Interpreters; Colonial Williamsburg https://www.colonialwilliamsburg.org/ Malka Benjamin Associate Director for Historic Sites and Guest Experiences; Plimoth Patuxet Museums https://plimoth.org/ Grace McGookey Lead Educator for Costume Interpretation and Access; Tenement Museum https://www.tenement.org Lèna Chilingerian Living Historian and Renaissance Faire Expert Instagram: @theshakespeareyogi Mark Leinung Local Revolutionary War Reenactor

Drunk Theatre

Episode 5.  The Penultimate episode.  What do Drunk Shakespeare, Breaking the Bard’s Drunk Zoom production on Lysistrata, and A Drinking Game NYC have in common?  Drunk Theatre refers to shows like these, and others, which involve an element of intoxication by alcohol, in their production.  From theatre’s very origins at an Ancient Grecian drinking festival, to the writing of the Bard, to creators of the modern day, many artists have long had a love affair with alcohol— yet many frown upon the idea of it being used professionally.  Does alcohol have a place in the theatre?  This episode explores the opinions of experts and advocates, as well as what obstacles, alcohol related and otherwise, creating theatre presents for them.   This month’s guests include From Drunk Shakespeare, Website: https://www.drunkshakespeare.com Co-Creator David Hudson Director Lisa Klages Alumni Performer Mike Sause, TikTok @TheMikeSause Braving the Bard’s Drunk Lysistrata Website: https://open.spotify.com/show/5wv4whCTLDTcTgH2oNXLTS?si=142298d862b64af4 Director Rose Meehan, Twitter @RosiePosiay A Drinking Game NYC Website: https://www.adrinkinggamenyc.com Founder and Lead Producer Laura Perez Co-Producer / Actor Stephanie Marrow Board Member / Company Member / “Sometime On Stage Person” Lucky Gretzinger Shout out to Boogiemanja, on Twitch, Mike Sause’s other project, twitch.tv/boogiemanja Theme Song by Jordan Singh.  Podcast Cover Logo by John Leinung.
