Ebony and Pamela share the winners of these awards shows...but really mostly Ebony! It's like she doesn't sleep. She knows everything!
Geeks!! Ebony and I are getting technology down while we continue to record our episodes via Zoom. It'll only get better and better;-) This episode continues to celebrate diversity in theatre with this play, written by Lorraine Hansberry. She also wrote Raisin in the Sun, so...
This is a very special episode. Its a bit of departure from our normal content, but it speaks to an underlying issue that needs to be brought to light!
Hi Geeks! Stuff is weird and crazy right now, so heres a dose of fun. I hope you're doing well, and staying healthy!
Merry Holidays, Geeks!! Here's a gift for you... Listen to us talk for 30+ minutes!!
Harold Prince has left an indelible mark on theatre as a whole. He will be greatly missed, while becoming stardust in our community!
It has been a while, so Ebony and I really went on a LOT of tangents, but you'll definitely enjoy all the winding paths!
Oh boy! Buckle up for this one...lots of tangents, but all very thought provoking. Enjoy!
First of all, I apologize for the sound issues...at some point, I will remain very loud, while Ebony gets very soft...sorry in advance! Secondly...you should be happy theres even an episode to listen to. Ugh! So ungrateful;)
We're back...and since we haven't done an episode in a while, we have LOADS to talk about!
Ebony and I have another amazing show for you today! True, this wasn't exactly a BROADWAY flop, but the story was so good...well...you can judge for yourself.
A little late (you probably already expected that), but better than never! Ebony and i are chatting about...wait for it... THE TONY'S!!!!!
Geeks! There have been a lot of musicals with religious themes, and quite a few of them have been very successful...THIS...is not one of them. But its fun to hear about it!
Lots of shows were discussed in this episode...as long as you can listen past our convo about how tired Pamela was...!
Geeks! We have two more amazingly kick butt women to talk to in this episode. Maria Baratta and Sara Benjamin are funny, smart, and incredibly talented! They will be performing in a show Ebony is producing called The Women's Cycle, here in NYC in June this year. All details are in the episode, but if you're itchy to research...

We have Madeline Smith with us again for a quaint chat about which women in theatre have inspired us! Our answers are in the episode, but we'd LOVE to hear from all you Geeks as well. Please Facebook, Tweet, or email us and let us know which lady directors, producers, stage managers, musicians, actresses (et al.)you admire, are inspired by, or just love so darn much!

Ebony and I are privileged to sit down with a fabulous lady musical director, Madeline Smith. She tells us about her dreams, how she started, and what the future may hold!

Hey Geeks! So...this is a first. We have a two-parter! We just had so much to talk about, and didn't want to overwhelm you. now sit back, relax, and enjoy part 1 of Spidey...Turn on the light, please!
It has been a minute! Now that we're all (safely?) past the holidays, Ebony and I are in full recording mode again. Enjoy this most recent Intermissionsode...on us!
This is a long one Geeks! There is a lot of ranting, and tangents...be warned;-)
You guys!!! That's right, we ganged up with Rob from Behind the Curtain (Kevin went camping...) to discuss all things theatre. And some other stuff as well. You're welcome!
We're back after a long hiatus, and in this episode we talk only about how much we loved, listened to, and were inspired by Theatre Talk on PBS!
SURPRISE!!!!!!!! That's right...another Intermission-sode!
LIES!!! I told you last week was the season finale, but HA HA...it wasn't! Enjoy your Intermission-sode.
GEEKS...we have a special guest this episode! His name is Robby, and he's really funny, and cool, and he really likes theatre.
Hi Geeks! I hope you enjoy this a teaspoon as much as I did during editing...(I laughed a lot!)
Why NOT have another episode dedicated to the 2018 Tony Awards?!
Geeks...I'll be honest. The dogs take a LOT of focus in this episode. They are very annoying, and I have had words with them! However, you can also expect amazing storytelling, and last second googling:-)
This was one very large tangent, that started out as a recap before the long awaited 2018 Tony Awards...then we didn't really talk about the Tony's at all...Enjoy!
Geeks! This is the longest intermission in the history of Broadway... I have no doubt you'll love every second;-)
Recently, Ebony and I were told that Intermission-sodes were someones favorite... I'm just gonna leave that there!
This was an exciting story. You could tell Pamela REEEEAAALLLLY liked telling it! Did you know there was an in-between story of A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 1 and A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2, told in musical form? The critics didn't think it was all that great. What do you think?
Eb and Drow (Ebony and Pamela) chew the fat once more in this condensed version of what is going on currently in the theatre world! "I gave us those nicknames, aren't they cute?!" -Pamela
Ebony details A TIME FOR SINGING in it's rise to Broadway, and fairly quick downfall. It may have been ahead of it's time. What do you think?
Edited while I was watching Jesus Christ Superstar LIVE on NBC...so, I can't promise perfection...whatevs, you were probably watching it too...DON'T JUDGE ME!!! I'm sorry, that was out of line. Please enjoy this episode mashing two of our very favorite things: true crime and musical theatre!
Ebony delves into the story of the woman who has a musical based on her life and adventures...Aimee Semple-McPherson! The musical: Scandalous.
