Podcasts about Colonial Theatre

Our Behind the Sound episodes seek to bring us, the concert goer, "backstage" so we can better understand how the iconic sound of a particular band is created.  It has become something of a tradition to do this with a tribute band that does such an incredible job re-creating the sound and visuals of a band that has incredible music, and is someone we can no longer catch a live show of.  This week we spend time with Start Making Sense, who've become the premier Talking Heads tribute band around.Fronted by Jon Braun, who bears an uncanny resemblance to David Byrne, this gathering of musicians have brought an incredible commitment to creating the quirky and brilliant music of the much-loved band.We'll spend time meeting everyone that makes up Start Making Sense, and see how it all comes together with Load-in and Sound Check, which at times is its own thoroughly enjoyable performance art.And then we'll share some of the songs from a recent performance at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA and ask the band members to provide commentary throughout, both about their early stages and their fav moments from the road.The music of Talking Heads has excited, inspired, and healed folks worldwide since their first show at CBGB's in 1975. If David Byrne is one of the geniuses of modern times, then Start Making Sense is a tribute to genius. Start Making Sense celebrates the entire Talking Heads' catalog meticulously executing the sounds and iconic live visual elements in every performance. Together these skilled and dedicated musicians enjoy bringing the unique, infectious energy of a Talking Heads live show that you know and love to the stage.Don't miss this one!Text us your thoughts on this episode, and who should be OUR #NextFavBand...As always, our hope is to bring you "your next favorite band".  If you tuned in today because you already knew this musician - thank you very much!  We hope that you enjoyed it and would consider following us and subscribing so we can bring you your #nextfavband in the future.  And check out nextfavband.com for our entire catalog of interviews!If you have a recommendation on who you think OUR next favorite band should be, hit us up on social media (@nextfavband everywhere) or send us an email at nextfavband@stereophiliastudio.com.Thank you to Carver Commodore, argonaut&wasp, and Blair Crimmins for allowing us to use their music in the show open and close.  It makes everything sound so much better!Let's catch a live show together soon!#nextfavband #livemusic #music #musicinterview #musician  #singer  #guitar  #song  #newmusic  #explorepage  #instamusic #bestmusic #musicismylife #musicindustry #musiclife #songwriter #musiclover #musicfestival

Then, on Shara in the City, it's all about “The Blob”.

Also, most recently Bina has collaborated with three others on a new musical called Sell Division: A Musical in Two Acts About Breaking the Chains of Perception which will be presented in the form of a live stage reading at the Community College of Rhode Island in Warwick, Rhode Island towards the end of 2024.

In this chilling episode of The Halloween Podcast, host Lyle Perez, a Tennessee realtor with a penchant for the paranormal, takes listeners to the spooky Granite State—New Hampshire. Known for its lush forests and historical towns, New Hampshire is also home to some of the most haunted locations in America. From grand hotels to eerie castles, Lyle explores ten sites that harbor ghostly secrets and restless spirits. Featured Locations: The Mount Washington Hotel 310 Mount Washington Hotel Road, Bretton Woods, NH 03575 Built in 1902, this grand hotel is haunted by Carolyn Stickney, whose ghost is seen in Room 314 and the hallways, where she leaves behind a faint trace of her lavender perfume. Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse 25 Wentworth Road, New Castle, NH 03854 Guiding sailors since 1771, this lighthouse is home to the spirit of Captain Thomas Ayers, who met a tragic end here and is now heard climbing the stairs in the dead of night. Pine Hill Cemetery Mains Street, Hollis, NH 03049 Locally known as "Blood Cemetery," this burial ground is haunted by Abel Blood, whose gravestone mysteriously changes at night. Shadowy figures roam among the headstones, adding to the eerie atmosphere. The Chase House 19 Hunking Street, Portsmouth, NH 03801 Built in 1762, the Chase House is haunted by a woman in a long dress, often seen looking out over the harbor, seemingly waiting for someone who will never return. Isles of Shoals Off the Coast of Portsmouth, NH 03801 These islands, including Smuttynose Island, are known for shipwrecks and the infamous Smuttynose Murders. Visitors often hear distant cries and see ghostly figures along the rocky shorelines. The Colonial Theatre 609 Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246 Opened in 1914, the Colonial Theatre is home to a former projectionist who still watches over the building. His shadowy presence is often spotted in the projection booth and the aisles after dark. Amos J. Blake House 94 Main Street, Fitzwilliam, NH 03447 Now a museum, this early 19th-century house is haunted by the spirit of a woman who moves through the rooms, leaving a sudden chill in her wake. New Hampshire State Hospital 105 Pleasant Street, Concord, NH 03301 Established in 1842, this former asylum is haunted by spirits of former patients. Visitors report seeing shadows in the windows and hearing faint cries echoing through the abandoned halls. Ocean-Born Mary House 45 Old Henniker Road, Henniker, NH 03242 Said to be haunted by Mary Wallace, who was born aboard a pirate ship, this house is known for sightings of Mary in a green dress and the scent of roses that fills the air. Madame Sherri's Castle Madame Sherri Forest, Gulf Road, Chesterfield, NH 03466 The ruins of Madame Sherri's lavish 1920s castle are still haunted by her ghost, who can be seen atop the crumbling stone staircase, welcoming guests to her eternal party.

We're LIVE again at the Colonial Theatre where we are joined by filmmaker Ryan Hammaker to discuss 1971's Vanishing Point, a film championed as one of the greatest car movies ever made. Does it live up to its legendary status or does it crash and burn in a fiery smoldering wreck?

We're LIVE at the historic Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA with special guest Matthew Sorrento where we watched 1947's Dark Passage for the first time with an AMAZING audience. Grab a seat and listen to us chat about the film, noir tropes, the legendary couple that was Bogie and Bacall, and Matt set us all straight on how brutal the writing industry could be, particarly for author David Goodis, whose novel Dark Passage was the source material for the film.

2023 was maybe our most surprising year yet! Little did we know we would discover a specific theme and boy do we have a lot to say about it. Joe and Graham sit down to chat their favorite new releases for the year, favorite first time watches, and get a little unfocused. Which was actually perfect because it let topics such as physical media, theater viewings and a while lot more bubble to the surface. 

I've been looking forward to sitting with Andrew Gibson, for quite some time and today was the day! If you've been to a play in NH recently you've probably seen Andrew. Okay, that may be a bit of a stretch, but, honestly, the guy has been on a tear lately! Pittsfield, the Majestic, the Colonial Theatre, Jean's Playhouse, etc. he's everywhere! And he freely talks about playing Spiderman for Marvel (true story, but, not the movies), his passion for voice-over work, his start in the arts, his love for Phantom Of the Opera (he despises it), and more!

Call him Dash Daring, Call him Chuck Francisco, just don't call him late to the movies. In our latest episode we sit down with the satiny voice of Colonial Theatre's repertory programming. From love of horror to love of swing dancing to love of The Blob, we cover a lot of ground in this episode and every bit was a delight. We feel beyond grateful to have this conversation with him; it's energetic, full of the love of film, and a celebration of theater going. Follow him on Instagram @cyaniderush

Greetings, good citizens I recently got to chat with our longtime friend, Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame. He's got a new album coming out called, “Now“ which will hit the stores on May 19th. We talk about songs from the record, the loss of David Crosby, and his uniquely positive take on everything in his universe. He's an amazing man, who just finished two nights at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville. Here's our conversation from 4/12/23.

“I believe the world is a better place if there is more theatre in it. There is only more theatre in it if there are more people making it. So, I do everything I can to help inspire, educate people to make more theatre. Does that mean I can produce every show? Unfortunately not.”  What's in this episode? Get a sneek peak into the brand new musical The Griswold's Family Vacation! What exactly is producing? How do you pick a city to do an out of town tryout?  How does the industry treat multi-hyphenates? How are multi-hyphenates like small businesses? How does Ken commit to being an accessible producer? How Hal Prince inspired Ken by saying one simple thing.  What is successful producing?  Joy the Musical! “In the business world, if you invent a product – you are the creator of that thing. You are an artist. You just designed the thing – you made it out of nothing. And then you have to raise the money for it. So, you're producing it yourself. All those people that go on Shark Tank, they are raising the money, they are doing the things. No one says, “Ugh, how dare you!” No, that's what they do. That's what Sara Blakely had to do for Spanx, that's what Mark Zuckerberg had to do for Facebook – all of it. They create something and then they raise it – but in our industry people roll their eyes.” Ken Davenport (Producer) is a two-time Tony Award-winning Broadway producer whose credits include A Beautiful Noise, Once On This Island (Tony Award), The Play that Goes Wrong, Groundhog Day (Tony nomination), Deaf West Theatre's Spring Awakening (Tony nomination), It's Only a Play starring Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick, Macbeth starring Alan Cumming, Godspell, Kinky Boots (Tony Award), The Visit (Tony nomination) as well the Off-Broadway productions of Altar Boyz, The Awesome 80s Prom and many more. Davenport's productions have been produced internationally in over 25 countries around the world. He was the Executive Producer for North America for Andrew Lloyd Webber's Really Useful Group and is the Theatrical Consultant for Primary Wave Music Publishing. His blog has been featured in every major publication around the world, from the New York Times to Vanity Fair. He conceived the best-selling boardgame Be A Broadway Star (available on Amazon) and he is an avid golfer. Ken is a Massachusetts native, raised in Sturbridge, MA, who grew up going to shows at the Colonial Theatre. He dedicates his career to his late father, Dr. Kenny Dipchand Hasija, an Indian immigrant who always dreamed about going into the theater but encouraged his son to do so instead. Other productions in development include Harmony by Barry Manilow and Bruce Sussman, The Griswolds' Broadway Vacation, Joy and The Ten. www.kendavenport.com Instagram: @kendavenportbway Learn more about your ad choices.

Watch the movie with fellow “Blob” fans, then run screaming from the theater together in terror! Tickets are on sale now. And in news, we discuss “Lightyear” box office, the latest “Stranger Things” trailer, Ben Stiller visiting Ukraine, and the documentary “George Michael: Freedom Uncut,” in theaters one night only on June 22.
