Podcasts about curious incident

After first joining the podcast back in episode 96, Taylor Trensch returns with a Tony nomination under his belt and a powerful performance in Floyd Collins that's leaving audiences breathless. We dive into the fascinating real-life story behind the show, his emotionally raw portrayal of journalist Skeets Miller, and how a tragic event from 100 years ago still mirrors today's media culture. Taylor shares what it's like to be the emotional center of a musical, how his understanding of connection has deepened post-lockdown, and the joy (and challenge) of performing for an audience that includes a dog with pink ears in the front row. From mental health advocacy to navigating the tension between real-life presence and online identity, Taylor gets candid about the evolution of his craft and the culture around him. He even takes us on a comedic detour into the plot of Cats (kind of) and imagines a version of Into the Woods that features Titus Burgess in every role, with the Muppets rounding out the cast. Whether you're here for the insight, the artistry, or the chaos—it's all here.Taylor Trensch is a Tony-nominated actor currently starring as Skeets Miller in Floyd Collins at Lincoln Center Theater. His past Broadway credits include Dear Evan Hansen, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Hello, Dolly!, and Matilda. He's also known for his advocacy around mental health and his commitment to emotionally resonant storytelling on stage.

Complete Interview.   Susan Oxtoby: The Life and Career of Agnes Varda Susan Oxtoby. Photo: BAMPFA. Susan Oxtoby, Director of Film and Senior Film Curator at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA), discusses the work of the great Belgian-French film maker Agnes Varda (1928-2019) with host Richard Wolinsky. The first major biography of Agnes Varda, A Complicated Passion: The Life and Work of Agnes Varda by Carrie Rickey, was published in 2024 and will come out in paperback on August 12, 2025. Agnes Varda began her career as a stills photographer and became a director with La Point Courte (1954), having seen very few films in her life. She went on to international fame with Cleo from 5 to 7 and Vagabond, but her late life films The Beaches of Agnes and Faces, Places established her as one of the most important directors of the modern era. All the films discussed in this interview (except the recent documentary Viva Varda!) are available to stream on the Criterion app, save for Faces, Places, which can be streamed on Kanopy. Cleo from 5 to 7 can also be streamed on Max Complete Interview.     Book Interview/Events and Theatre Links Note: Shows may unexpectedly close early or be postponed due to actors' positive COVID tests.

Bible Reading: Luke 6:27-37After their bikes were stolen, Ryder and Zach asked all their friends and neighbors to be on the lookout. They prayed about it too--and Dad even prayed for the person who had taken the bikes.As they were praying together a few days later, Ryder's thoughts wandered. I wish I could get my hands on whoever took my bike, he thought. He'd have a black eye and a bloody nose and--Ryder opened his eyes just then and noticed the words on a plaque hanging on the wall: "Forgive one another as the Lord forgave you." He struggled with his thoughts and feelings. He felt like getting back at the person who had taken his bike, but he knew Jesus wanted him to forgive. Later that week, Ryder looked out the window to see Bryn, a girl from his class at school, standing outside with a man next to her. What's Bryn doing here? he thought. Then he noticed she was holding on to a red bicycle. "My daughter has something to say to you," the man said when Dad and Ryder came to the door."I think this is your bike," said Bryn. "I saw a man putting a blue bike in his truck in front of your house. This one was standing there too, but when I came along, he took off. I meant to just borrow it and bring it right back, but then I scratched it and was worried you'd call the police. I'm sorry. I'll pay for it.""You're the person who stole my bike?" Ryder felt a rush of anger as he looked at the long scratch on his new bike, but then he remembered how he'd once made fun of Bryn at school and made her cry. He'd later apologized, and she'd forgiven him. I need to forgive her, he thought, because she forgave me--and because Jesus forgave me too. "It's okay, Bryn," Ryder said. "I forgive you." As Bryn and her dad walked away, Ryder happily pushed his bike into the garage. As he did, the long scratch caught his eye once more--but this time it didn't make him angry. Thank you, Jesus, for forgiving me for all the wrong things I've done, he prayed, and for helping me forgive Bryn. –Evelyn J. BehrensHow About You?Do you find it difficult to forgive someone who has wronged you? It isn't easy, but it's so much better to let go of your anger instead of letting it take over your thoughts. Jesus tells us to forgive others for the wrong things they've done to us because He's forgiven us for all the wrong we've ever done. Trust Him to help you let go of your anger and forgive. Today's Key Verse:Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (NLT) (Ephesians 4:32)Today's Key Thought:Forgive others

Bible Reading: Psalm 19:7-11As Ryder and Zach set plates and forks on the table for lunch, a dog started barking outside. "There goes Sarge again," said Ryder. "He's always barking.""This bark sounds different than usual," said Mom. "Maybe one of you boys should go check it out.""Aw, Mom, we're busy," said Zach. "Besides, Sarge barks at everything--squirrels, people, cars. You name it, he barks at it." Since Mom didn't insist, no one checked to see why Sarge was barking.When Zach and Ryder went out to ride their bikes later that afternoon, they stopped and stared at the empty garage. "Where are our bikes?" asked Zach. "I don't believe it!" cried Ryder. "They're gone! Who would have the nerve to come into our garage in broad daylight and take our bikes right out from under our noses?""After all the work we did mowing lawns to buy those bikes," said Zach. "Now this!" The boys rushed into the house. "Our new bikes are gone! Someone stole them!" Everyone hurried out to see for themselves.Dad returned to the house to call the police department and report the loss. When he came back outside, he stopped to pet Sarge. "Didn't we hear Sarge barking a couple hours ago?" he asked. "He was trying to warn us, and we didn't listen to him."That evening Dad read aloud from Psalm 19. "Warnings are important," he said after he finished reading. "Today Mom warned you boys not to ignore Sarge's barking, but you did. Sarge was warning us about the bikes getting stolen, but we didn't listen. In this psalm, we see that God speaks through His Word not only to teach us about who He is and how much He loves us, but also to warn us about sin." "You mean how sin separates us from God, and only Jesus can free us from sin and give us eternal life?" asked Zach. Dad nodded. "Yes, the Bible definitely warns us about sin in that way. But it also warns those who already trust in Jesus about the consequences of sin and how disobeying God can create huge messes in our lives. Let's be sure to listen, knowing that Jesus will always forgive our wrongs and help us obey Him." –Evelyn J. Behrens How About You?Do you take warnings seriously? God warns Christians about the dangers of sin in the Bible. Listen to Him and obey His commands. Is God warning you about something today? If you think He is, pray and ask God to help you know what action to take, and get advice from an adult you trust. God's warnings are one of the ways He helps you and guides you through life.Today's Key Verse:His teachings warn his servants, and good things come to those who obey them. (ERV) (Psalm 19:11)Today's Key Thought:Pay attention to God's warnings

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   The Making of the film “Bushman” Rob Nillson, Gail Schickele, Jon Shibata Film director Rob Nillson, Activist and Environmentalist Gail Schickele, and Film Archivist Jon Shibata in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, discussing the film “Bushman,” directed by David Schickele, recorded January 25, 2024 at Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive. Released in 1971 but filmed in 1968, the film “Bushman” is a masterpiece detailing the story of a Nigerian educator in San Francisco. The film vanished following its showing at various film festivals, and has now been digitized and restored, and can be viewed on the Kanopy and Hoopla, the free public library film apps. This discussion with Gail Schickele, wife of the late director David Schickele (1937-1999), his friend, colleague and collaborator director Rob Nillson, and BAMPFA film archivist John Shibata focuses first on “Bushman” and David Schickele, how the film came about and what happened during and after the filming, and later with the film's restoration, and a look at Rob Nillson's career as film-maker.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. In this episode, we missed seeing or hearing from Emily and her family, and we felt sorry for Charles as he made friends and then realized he'd need to betray them to do his job. But there were still a few of the hijinks we've come to expect.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 5, "Presents and Clear Danger." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.Catherine's library find comes from the adult nonfiction section this week: Custodians of Wonder: Ancient Customs, Profound Traditions, and the Last People Keeping Them Alive by Eliot Stein. She can't vouch for the author (yet) but thinks this could be an entertaining and illuminating trip around the world.​Terri's random recommendation this week is the sitcom Scrubs, which ran from 2001 to 2010. She's watching it for the first time for two reasons: She's a Bill Lawrence fan (see: Shrinking) and she needs to justify her Hulu subscription. In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2023 on real-life conversation hearts.Next week's lineup: Lost S2 E9, "What Kate Did," on Tuesday, February 18A Man on the Inside S1 E4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class," on Wednesday, February 19Weekly roundup on Thursday, February 20Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.

Every Wednesday, we share our thoughts on a newer entertainment property. Right now, we're watching A Man on the Inside. In this episode, we found out that you can't escape the PTA, even in a senior living residence, and that Charles and his daughter make a great team. Mentioned: a Spectrum TV ad in which a kid springs a project on his dad at bedtime, LinkedIn games, a hot buttered rum recipe (slightly more complicated than Terri's version). and Tom and Jerry batter.Next Wednesday, we'll continue with season 1, episode 4, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Painting Class." We'll be back tomorrow with our weekly roundup.

We also perform a roast, talk about the urge to recreate a once-in-a-lifetime feeling, and do some investigative journalism into the prevalence of Tuesday time loops.

Taylor Trensch is a star, y'all! He dishes on his extraordinary career, ranging from working alongside Gavin Creel in Hello, Dolly! to his recent two-hander experience with Cynthia Nixon. And just like that… we gagged! Connor dreamcasts Taylor in the titular role in Oh, Mary, while everyone eagerly anticipates Nicole Scherzinger's arrival on Broadway. We go down memory lane to Tampa, where Taylor's love of theatre began with (spoiler alert) Nancy's tragic end in Oliver! These three gab about their favorite divas (Bernadette! Lillias! Dakin Matthews!), Taylor's onstage wigs, and working with dogs and rats in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. We gush over Cristin Milioti, dissect the Ryan Murphyverse, and giggle nonstop. Did Taylor (as Boq) perform a triple pirouette during “Dancing Through Life” in Wicked? That's one mystery we'll never know the answer to. Be sure to see this superstar in Safety Not Guaranteed as BAM through October 20.Follow Taylor on InstagramSee Safety Not Guaranteed at BAM!

Welcome to Episode 134 of the Think UDL podcast: Ask Me and Believe Me with Mickey Rowe. Mickey Rowe is an award winning best selling author and speaker. As an autistic and legally blind person, he believes that when we design for accessibility, we help others to perform at their best, and, as he says, that's not just for disabled folks. He is a Broadway actor, director, consultant and public speaker and was the first autistic actor to play Christopher Boone, the lead role in the Tony Award-winning play The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. He is a disability and accessibility advocate and his most recent speaking engagement is with TextHelp's open access conference Back to School Blockbuster: Lights, Camera, Educate! on September 18-19, from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm EST. This is a free virtual conference designed just for educators. If you are listening to this episode after the synchronous online conference, all of the content is available on demand until the end of November and you can find a link to the Back to School Blockbuster conference on the ThinkUDL.org webpage under the resources section of this episode, and in the episode description. In today's conversation with Mickey, we talk about his experiences as a disabled student at the university level and what he and his professors did to manage the barriers that persisted while he completed his undergraduate degree. Mickey gives us all, students, instructors, administrators, and everyone else, some sound advice on how to reduce the friction but not the rigor of a college education. There are some easy choices and forward thinking designs that can help all of us along the way. I was able to catch Mickey at 6:30am his time in Seattle, Washington, and by the end of our interview his young school-aged children had joined us in the recording and made a brief appearance. You'll hear them, too!

We will be on a much needed hiatus for the entire month of June and a smidge into July. You will get replays of some of our book recommendation episodes from last year, but toward the end of June, we may have a remix episode where we catch up with a former guest. This last episode of Season 10 is about a very important topic. Although May is almost over, it isn't too late to recognize books for Mental Health Awareness month. Carrie and I both know and appreciate that mental health is part of total health. Your brain is a really big, extremely powerful, exceedingly important part of your body. If it ain't happy, no other part of you is happy either. It's no different than your kidneys or heart not performing their best. This week we give you some book recommendations, both fiction and nonfiction, that highlight mental health or bring some exposure to mental health issues.

Science journalist Sue Nelson shares her personal journey to better understand a condition that affects millions worldwide. Inside her autistic inner world is a cacophony of brain chatter, anxiety and sensory issues - recreated within a 360 degree soundscape - that impact her life and interactions with others. Sue, who discovered she had autism last year aged 60, meets other autistic people, researchers and clinicians to try to make sense of her late diagnosis. Those who offer their own stories and experiences include Canadian actor Mickey Rowe, the first autistic actor to play the autistic lead character in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime; award-winning science writer Dr Camilla Pang; and former teacher Pete Wharmby, who left the profession to write about his condition to help others.

What starts with Tartuffe and ends with a Curious Incident? If you guessed it was this season of The Colonial Players, you'd be correct! But it is a special season--it is the 75th season and every production will be a never-before-seen production at the community theater company. Today, we sit down with Steve Tobin who is the President of The Colonial Players to talk about the theater itself, and what is in store for the 75th season including their signatiure A Christmas Carol (along with a pro tip on how to get a coveted ticket)!

And it is an organization we all need to support with ticket sales (individual or season), memberships, or time. Why you ask? Have a listen!

In this week's deleted scenes, Matt and Tom go off into a reverie about book adaptations. Then we turn a thought-provoking (as we understand) book into a mystery about a mean old dog catcher and spend ten minutes figuring out if we want the dogs' mouths to move when they talk.

“All of a sudden,” says Moellenberg. “While I was sitting there, I literally heard for about 15 - 20 minutes a deep, male voice, which I assumed was a higher being, telling me that I had a long life to live. It was going to be very productive and my purpose was to help create beauty in the world. And the suggestion was made that that beauty might be through helping to create theatre.” According to Carl, he came out at the absolutely worst time. And after being diagnosed with HIV in the 1980's, he found himself undergoing a transition. A transition of spirit, a transition of healing, and a transition from investment banker into a producer. He became many things – a Reiki master, a counselor, an ordained minister – all things focusing on what multi-hyphenating is all about.  Regardless, Moellenberg couldn't have started in a better place. The first project he invested in was Wicked and the first project he co-produced was Spring Awakening. Two very big hits. So what is a producer? What's their responsibilities? How does one become a producer? Check out this episode to learn more about what goes into producing on Broadway. Plus, in this episode check out why a ‘Why' Statement is incredibly important to have, how everyone can come together to make theatre more accessible, and learn about Carl's new book, Carl Moellenberg's Story: Broadway and Spirituality as a Path to Survival — available wherever you purchase books now. Carl began his career in banking, and after debilitating illnesses threatened his life, he took a new approach to spirituality and healing, and re-found his love and passion for Broadway. He has since gone on to be on the producing teams for some of Broadway's most successful shows: Spring Awakening, War Horse, Hair, Death of a Salesman, Pippin, All the Way, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, Dear Evan Hansen, Angels in America, The Band's Visit, Oklahoma, Hadestown and Company. His aim has always been to tell compelling stories or to present stunning music which transforms people.  “I'm incredibly excited that I believe it is an inspirational story, and I believe it will encourage people that are maybe early in their career in the arts as you've been referring to. I believe it will be a story of surmounting obstacles in people's lives. That's my sole aim – I didn't write it, again, to talk about me or my career as a producer or going through each show and talking at length about all the shows I've been involved with – I did it to talk about a personal journey in hopes that my personal journey will inspire other personal journeys. That's what I'm excited about.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As noted in the previous episode, auditions are the backbone of this industry. It is the fundamental job of every actor to do as many jobs as we can and do each one to the best of our ability. But there is an important gatekeeper when it comes to submitting our self tapes or actually getting in the audition room, and that is the casting Director. You've heard from Actors and their experiences in front of the audition table. Well, now it's time to hear from the other side of that proverbial table and what goes in to casting, and the vital role they play in the production for the stage or screen. Daryl Eisenberg, along with fellow casting director Ally Beans, works to create a comfortable space for actors, so they can take risks and really show their full potential as artists. You'll hear Daryl's thoughts on how actors can make their mark in the audition room or on a self-tape, and then you'll get an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at how she uses her position and expertise to make the audition process enjoyable and inclusive for artists on both sides of the table.

Mickey Rowe, the first autistic actor to play the autistic lead character in the Tony Award- winning The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, knows these statistics all too well. He also knows what it takes to overcome the odds and land a part. Mickey chronicles this journey to stardom in his memoir FEARLESSLY DIFFERENT: An Autistic Actor's Journey to Broadway's Biggest Stage, which released just ahead of Autism Awareness Month.  Mickey recasts the definition of abled body and mind as he takes readers on a narrative journey that begins with his struggles as a legally blind, autistic child. Even as he was shunned by his mother, bullied by his brothers, and relegated backstage by teachers and classmates, Mickey learned to embrace his differences when others recoiled from them. Now hailed as a trailblazer and inspiration. All Music and Lyrics by James Harrell and Ilyana Kadushin. This episode brought to you by: Lower Shore Autism Community.
