It's one of those roles which great actors have on their to-do list: Winnie in the play Happy Days by Samuel Beckett.  Winnie starts the play buried up to her waist in dirt. In Act 2 she's buried up to her neck! Acclaimed actor Pamela Rabe tell us what makes this such an iconic play and how she approached it as both co-director and star of Happy Days for the Sydney Theatre Company.In the play POV (Point of View), 11-year-old Bub directs a pair of adult actors on stage, to re-enact scenes from her life. There's a catch: it's the first time the actors have seen the script, and Bub is filming them for a documentary. This innovative work by collective re:group is all about how a kid experiences the mental illness of a parent. We chat to young actors Mabelle Rose and Edie Whitehead, who play Bub, and director Solomon Thomas.What if Celine Dion wasn't just the torch-bearing soundtrack to Titanic — but the main character? That's the premise of a hilarious musical parody called Titanique, which originated off Broadway and has since proven popular here in Australia too. A cast of 11 joins The Stage Show, led by powerhouse Marney McQueen.

In Act 1 of this moving two-part arc, we met Charles Moore—alumnus and now Director of Programs and Operations at Rehabilitation Through the Arts (RTA)—who shared his remarkable journey from a childhood without parents, to his incarceration at age 34, and how he transformed 17 years behind bars into a life rich with education, creativity, and connection. That first episode explored the healing power of the arts and how they can foster purpose, growth, and community even in what could be the most isolating of environments. Act 2 picks up right where we left off, diving even deeper into Charles's journey. We learn that he's been part of RTA for over 20 years, and that transformation was made possible because, as Charles puts it, “somebody believed in me.” He opens up about reentry into society, and how the arts played a crucial role in re-learning essential life skills. The conversation expands to spotlight arts programs for incarcerated individuals across the country, and turns toward legacy—what Charles hopes to build and leave behind. With reflections on leadership, identity, and the power of belief, this episode is filled with insight, vulnerability, and inspiration.

For the first time, we feature two interviews - two dykes, from two different generations - on the same concept: Dyke Drag.

In Act 2, we meet Denise Gaylord, a local Ptown lesbian who ran an annual brunch also called "Dyke Drag" back in the 90s. Tune in to find out how, together, they brought Dyke Drag back to Ptown!

Over the course of his 17-year sentence, Charles turned to education and the arts to rebuild his sense of purpose and to find a vibrant, supportive community. This episode is equal parts deep and inspiring, shining a light on the power of human resilience and the role the arts can play in redemption and healing.

Old friends. After a spotlight was cast upon the female friendship dynamic in The White Lotus Season 3, we have some thoughts. Are old friendships toxic, or are their sometimes fraught, no BS nature the very thing that makes them the most valuable? Plus, what makes a politician?

In Act 1 of this 2-episode arc, we were introduced to Tricia Patrick, Director of Education at Ford's Theatre, as she shared her journey of artistic discovery and self-reflection. She took us through the winding path that led her back to the arts, illustrating how moments of exploration, uncertainty, and personal growth ultimately deepened her understanding of why the arts matter. Through her story, we explored the power of looking back—how embracing the many chapters of our lives helps us refine our purpose, strengthen our creative practice, and bring greater depth to our work as educators, artists, and leaders in the field. Act 2 picks up right where we left off, shifting the focus to the broader impact of theater—not just as an art form, but as a means of fostering essential life skills, interpersonal, and community connection. Tricia unpacks the challenges of access—or lack thereof—to theater, interrogating why it is often undervalued compared to other disciplines and making the case for its immense personal and societal benefits. She also shares her perspective on leadership in the arts, exploring what it means to lead with intention, adaptability, and a commitment to lifelong learning. From the transformative power of storytelling to the responsibility of shaping equitable, inclusive spaces, this conversation is a powerful call to recognize the full value of theater and the arts—not just as entertainment but as a vital force for growth, connection, and change.

WB's latest in a gaggle of live-service gaming goof-ups brought us begrudgingly back from the bliss of death to talk about how things went so wrong so fast. Is the media giant solely to blame for this particular fiasco, or did the developers steer this vehicle way off course? Maybe they should've taken that left turn at Albuquerque. In Act 1 of 3, we get up to speed by taking a small detour back on memory lane before embarking on the long trip across the timeline of events which sentenced Multiversus to where it is now... waiting on death row.For more of the Utterly Nonsense Podcast, check out utterlynonsense.com.

It was an inspiring dive into the roots of artistry and the passion that drives creative individuals to pursue their craft. In Act 2, we pick up right where we left off and venture deeper into the questions that every artist faces. Is an artist ever truly satisfied in their work? How and when do we as artists know when it's time to move on? Hassiem shares his perspectives on the intersection of artistry and education, reflecting on his work with a range of organizations and how their approaches have challenged and shaped his practice. The episode also unpacks the impact of his work, exploring how creativity manifests in the spaces he visits. This thought-provoking conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about the deeper connections between art, education, and artistic purpose.

In Act 1, Nehprii Amenii took us on a journey through her experiences as a New Victory LabWorks artist, emphasizing the importance of artistry, childlike wonder, and fostering harmony in the classroom. She reflected on her connection to the Alvin Ailey company and shared what it means to truly see and embrace the unique possibilities of art. Through these stories, Nehprii inspired us to rethink the role of creativity in our lives and the power of living in harmony with others. Now for Act 2: What kind of artist are you in this moment? What is your purpose as an artist? These are two big questions swirling their way through Act 2, which picks up right where we left off. In this portion of their chat, Courtney and our guest dive deeper into Nehprii's fascinating career in puppetry and how it shapes her creative voice. As she reflects ever-so-briefly on what fuels her artistry—the pressing fear that our humanness is disappearing—Nehprii explores the essence of being an artist, how we define artistic worth, and the deeper questions that keep her art alive. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration of what it means to create, connect, and stay true to our humanity in an ever-changing world.

In Act 1 of Episode 73: “One Hundred Percent Whole,” we welcome the one, the only, the radiant Nehprii Amenii—an educator, Teaching Artist, curriculum developer, theater director, playwright, puppeteer, and a self-proclaimed “creator of things.” Nehprii shares her journey as a New Victory LabWorks artist, exploring how her repeated invitations to the program helped shape her work both within the program and elsewhere. In their conversation, she and Courtney delve into the importance of centering artistry and maintaining a sense of childlike wonder as adults. Listeners will also hear Nehprii's unique approach to fostering harmony within the classroom and her inspiring connection to the Alvin Ailey company, which deepened her understanding of what it truly means to be an artist.

In Act 1, we explored some jaw-dropping stats on arts access in New York City, the transformative power of the arts on emotional well-being, and why the arts deserve a place alongside core subjects like history and social studies. Our guest, Judith Insell, shared her insights on how the arts can be an economic engine and an accessible career pathway. If you missed it, be sure to catch up on that conversation! In Act 2, we get personal. Judith takes us on her own artistic journey, from discovering her passion for music at a young age to attending the prestigious LaGuardia High School and Manhattan School of Music. Through a series of serendipitous events, she found herself gigging professionally and stepping into arts administration by the age of 24. Judith reflects on the reality of supplementing her career as a musician with teaching and how her experience as a practicing artist has shaped her unique approach to arts administration today. This is a powerful exploration of the intersection of artistry and leadership.

In Act 2, Kip Ioane takes us deeper into his journey as a father, coach, and advocate for reimagining masculinity. We explore the unique challenges he faces raising three children with diverse needs, and how his own upbringing influences his parenting. Kip candidly shares the behaviors he hopes his children won't inherit, particularly his tendency to weaponize his voice. The conversation then shifts to his transformative work with Teams of Men, born from a crisis that forced him to confront the inadequacies in how he was developing young athletes. Kip's passion is palpable as he describes his mission to make emotional literacy, consent education, and healthy relationship skills mandatory for coaches. His insights on the "man box" and the power of sports to shape young men's character are both sobering and inspiring. As we wrap up, I'm left pondering the immense potential for positive change when we challenge traditional notions of masculinity in the spaces where young men are most receptive to growth.Bio: Kip Ioane ("eye-own") is the founder and lead facilitator of #TeamsOfMen, an organization that exists to empower coaches of male athletes to enlighten their players to the potential of a reimagined manhood. Based on his own work over a 22 year career as a basketball coach at the NCAA D3 level, TeamsOfMen provides players and coaches with in person workshops, course curriculum, discussion prompts, and conversation prompts to engage men in breaking free from the manbox, embracing emotional fluency and preventing gender violence and oppression. Working with middle school through collegiate level teams (mainly in football and basketball), Kip's vision is a new normal of all coaches prepping male athletes to take their platform of influence with the toolkits needed to spread positive masculinity to the next generation of young men.Website

In Act 1, we explored Betsaleel (Bets) Charmelus's insights on transforming learning spaces, the importance of introducing novelty in education, and the critical role of trauma-informed practices. Bets challenged us to rethink how we prepare young people for a world that isn't trauma-informed, emphasizing that the real impact comes when educators model resilience and adaptability. These foundational ideas set the stage for a deeper conversation in Act 2, where we shift focus from the classroom to Bets's personal journey and the systemic challenges he's faced. In this episode, Bets shares his trajectory into his current role as CEO of ArtistYear, offering a candid reflection on the racism he has witnessed within the arts education field and in society at large. He discusses the difficulties of owning his hard-won position and title in a world that often seeks to either undervalue Black leaders. Bets also tackles the complexities of being a Black leader in a time when Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) work is gaining prominence yet facing pushback from those resistant to change. This conversation delves into the intersection of personal experience and broader societal issues, providing our listeners with a powerful perspective on leadership, identity, and the ongoing fight for equity.

Ruth at the Threshing Floor (Ruth): Character matters. In this broken world, will you find yourself in a compromising situation from time to time? Absolutely. What will you do? Will you compromise yourself and follow the ways of the world? Or will you trust in the Lord and honor him with your life and the commitment of your character? Recorded on Aug 18, 2024, on Ruth 3:1-18 by Pastor David Parks. This sermon is part of the series Ruth: The Love of a Redeemer. In the Bible, the book of Ruth tells the story of a family that experienced a series of bitter tragedies. But through loyalty, integrity, and faithful love (hesed), they find unexpected redemption, restoration, and hope. Our God is a redeemer. Sermon Transcript So, all month, we're working through a series on the OT book of Ruth called The Love of a Redeemer. As we've seen so far, Ruth is all about facing the bitter tragedies of life by leaning on the hesed, or the steadfast loving-kindness of God, but also on the men and women in our lives who have the character and integrity to reflect this kind of redeeming love to us. As Justun said last week, the Bible, from cover to cover, is a redemption story. And sometimes, the people of the Bible reflect the redemptive love that God ultimately gave us through Jesus. Of course, very often, the people of the Bible (and perhaps other people in our lives today) do not reflect God's love or godly character. But Ruth provides several good models for us to learn from. In Act 1, we saw Ruth, a foreign (Moabite) woman, model this hesed-style love to her mother-in-law, Naomi, after their husbands died. We saw this in Ruth's incredible declaration of loyalty and commitment to Naomi and then in her willingness to leave her people and her gods and return to Bethlehem with Naomi to love and care for her. Last week, in Act 2, we saw Boaz model this hesed-style love for Ruth and Naomi. Boaz protected Ruth as she worked in his field and generously provided food for them. Today, in Act 3 of our play, we'll see if this loyalty and kindness, this protection and provision, might become something more for Boaz and Ruth. But the lead characters of our play find themselves in a seemingly sketchy situation that is a real test of their integrity. How would they respond? Will they compromise themselves, following the ways of the world? Or will they trust in the Lord and honor him with their lives and the commitment of their character? If you have your Bible/app, please open it to Ruth 3:1. Act 3, scene 1. Ruth 3:1–6 (NIV), “1 One day Ruth's mother-in-law Naomi said to her, “My daughter, I must find a home for you, where you will be well provided for. 2 Now Boaz, with whose women you have worked, is a relative of ours. Tonight he will be winnowing barley on the threshing floor. 3 Wash, put on perfume, and get dressed in your best clothes. Then go down to the threshing floor, but don't let him know you are there until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, note the place where he is lying. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down. He will tell you what to do.” 5 “I will do whatever you say,” Ruth answered. 6 So she went down to the threshing floor and did everything her mother-in-law told her to do.” So, we're not sure exactly how much time has passed here since Ruth and Naomi arrived from Moab. Chapter 1 ends with a transitional note from our narrator that they arrived in Bethlehem just as the barley harvest was starting. Then, Ruth providentially gleaned in the fields of Boaz during the harvest. Historically, the barley harvest would start in mid-May and would continue with the wheat harvest through the end of June. Now, here, perhaps sometime in July, the harvest was done, and the operation turned to winnow the grain on the threshing floor to separate the grain from the chaff. Bethlehem, which, as we said, meant “house of bread,” was filling back up. Now, harvest time was really hard work.

In Act 1 of this two-episode arc, Courtney engages in a thought-provoking discussion with educator and facilitator Betsaleel (Bets) Charmelus. In their discussion, Bets emphasizes why it's essential for educators and facilitators to radically change traditional learning spaces. By altering the energy in these environments, we can create room for creative thinking and innovation, ultimately empowering students to think outside the box. Bets also delves into the significance of introducing novelty in a measured, incremental way during facilitation. He highlights how these small shifts can have a profound impact on student engagement and learning outcomes. The episode also explores the creation of spaces in which kids feel safe to take risks, fail, and learn from those failures—spaces that encourage exploration and experimentation as key components of the learning process. A core theme of this episode is the concept of trauma-informed practices in education. Bets challenges the notion of preparing students for a world that isn't trauma-informed by asking, "Why do we offer trauma-informed strategies if the world doesn't operate that way?" He responds to his own questions with a compelling idea: the power lies in modeling these practices in facilitation. By openly making mistakes, naming them, and celebrating small and big successes, educators can demonstrate resilience and adaptability. Bets asserts that when we model this work, we don't just prepare students for the real world—we begin to change it. This episode is a deep dive into how we can equip young people with the tools they need to navigate a non-trauma-informed world and become agents of change in their own right.

Over the past two episodes, we've been covering the thriving competitive scene around Kirby Air Ride's City Trial mode--a community of over 11,000 members. This episode is part two of our two-part interview series, and Sean and Bridget continue to speak with our guests drcKARGaming, one of the top Kirby Air Ride players, and Protag, a community leader and developer on updates to the game's competitive mod.In Act 1, drcKARGaming shares a sort of oral history of the Air Ride community. It's a tale full of classic sports tropes, rivalries, and sometimes dramatic tournament results, so we put it in an act all of its own. Then for Act 2, Protag is back for more talk on the future of competitive Air Ride. As this is part two of a series, if you haven't listened to part one yet, you may want to listen to our previous episode before giving this one a listen.If you'd like a monthly bonus episode, along with merchandise and other rewards, we hope you'll check out our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/KirbyConversations.

Making a school lunch, meeting a friend for coffee, or praying for your neighbors may not seem eternity-altering, but God can use the smallest acts of obedience to make a lasting impact. Sometimes it's not the grand gestures that make the biggest difference; sometimes it's the seemingly insignificant acts that transform people's lives. In Act 9, we can all learn from the example of Tabitha, a devoted disciple of Jesus - her character, impact, and obedience to follow God's plan. Join us as we celebrate mothers who disciple their families, friends, and neighbors as they go. 

In Act 2 of Episode 68: “Pockets of Light,” Courtney continues her conversation with multidisciplinary artist Jerron Herman. What sticks from Act 1 of this episode are the internal themes of personal and professional growth, and disability justice through disability artistry. What's new and exciting about Act 2 is Courtney and Jerron's deep discussions centered on art-making by and about disabled communities through a disability justice lens; Jerron's invitation to identify one's authentic curiosity about this work and considering ways one might enter deep conversations that explore disability justice; what solidarity means in the context of building bridges from one community to the next; and we have been indoctrinated to believe that capitalism (an oppressive presence in our lives) is the only way to exist and how, together, we can move toward a more liberated society, deeper thinking and move beautiful art-making.

In Act 2 of Episode 67: “The Power of Queer Joy!,” Courtney continues her conversation with guest Lindz Amer. Their chat pivots in tone and substance from Act 1, which was focused on what it means to be a child that is free to explore and to keep that inner child alive as an adult. Act 2 focuses in on Lindz's work as a content creator and the myriad differences between creating and distributing online content, and creating their longform, non-fiction book, “Rainbow Parenting: Your Guide to Raising Queer Kids and Their Allies.” One (of many) interesting parts of this conversation is centered around Lindz's journey away from and back to programming for young audiences, and realizing the importance of feeling and expressing Queer joy in spaces and through content that have not traditionally held space for that joy or narrative.

In Act 2 of my discussion with Keith Edwards, our discussion unfolds around the complexities of masculinity, the influence of socialization, and the journey towards authentic living. Keith shares anecdotes, including a story about a man questioning his love for football, illustrating the profound impact of socialization on identity. We move through the mazes of masculinity, both toxic and healthy, and we explore the idea of authentic masculinity, emphasizing the significance of curiosity, unlearning, and self-awareness in personal development. Before we wrap up, Keith muses about agency, choice, and conscious decision-making, ultimately highlighting the challenges of early socialization, the ongoing quest for authenticity, and how we, as men, can benefit from the practice of self-reflection.Keith's Bio:Keith helps leaders and organizations make transformational change for leadership, learning, and equity. His expertise includes curricular approaches to learning beyond the classroom, allyship and equity, leadership and coaching, authentic masculinity, and sexual violence prevention. He is an authentic educator, trusted leader, and unconventional scholar. Keith has consulted with more than 300 organizations, written more than 25 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, and has more than 1,000 hours as a certified leadership and executive coach.He is the author of the book Unmasking: Toward Authentic Masculinity. He co-authored The Curricular Approach to Student Affairs and co-edited Addressing Sexual Violence in Higher Education.His TEDx Talk on preventing sexual violence has been viewed around the world. He is co-host of Student Affairs NOW, the premier podcast for student affairs.WebsiteLinkedIn

In Act 2 of Episode 66: “For Vocal Girls…,” Carmen Kelly tells of her 22-year history with Creative Arts Team (CAT) and her 40-year career as a teaching artist! This inspiring conclusion to our four-episode arc discussion delves into Carmen's work with high school-aged kids and what it was like developing strategies for talking to them about HIV/AIDS at a time when nobody else had the courage to do so. Carmen also takes time to speak about what it was like to be present within the evolution of teaching artistry. And, in a thoughtfully candid moment, she takes time to highlight the transferable skill sets that made her transition from teaching artistry to a more programmatic leadership role.

In today's episode, we dive into a topic that has ignited debates in the design community—“Why inspiration is important for designers and their creative process.” This special episode challenges the recent notion that designers shouldn't rely on seeking inspiration. In Act 1, we explore the definition of inspiration versus imitation, its diverse sources, and its foundational role in innovation. Act 2 guides you through building a digital library of inspiration on platforms like Pinterest, Dribbble, Behance, and Instagram. We discuss effective categorization, regular maintenance, and strategies to use inspiration as a springboard for original ideas. Before we delve in, a quick shoutout to Creative South, a yearly creative conference where designers come together to share, network, and ignite their creativity.

In Act 2 of The Last Stand, everyone chants "We don't need the cure" so much that it's no wonder Robert Smith gets depressed all the time. More useful characters are senselessly disposed of, and the Merry Men assemble in Sherwood Forest. Look out for the thrilling conclusion in Act 3!

Hi, PODience! We're back with Act 2 of our fascinating chat with Yazmany Arboleda titled, “Mobilizing Interdependence.” In their discussion, Courtney and Yazmany continue to tackle a range of deeply meaningful topics. One major theme that really stands out in this episode is how the process of making art in community with others helps us to understand one another, to learn new skills and to evolve into something new. In Act 2 of Arboleda's fast-paced, joyful chat with Courtney, they also discuss Yazmany's work with the Little Amal, the problematic aspects of land acknowledgments, land ownership v. land stewardship in western cultures, and how our lived experience affects how we approach how we move through the world and how we create our art.

The conclusion of our visit to the haunted hospital of The New Mutants! In Act 3, our five heroes finally come to terms with the fact that they are terrifying supermutants who cannot be contained by science or the supernatural.

In Act 2 of Jonny's chat with Oscar-winner Kenneth Lonergan, they discuss the high-school production of A Midsummer Night's Dream where Kenny met his best friend and frequent collaborator, Matthew Broderick; Kenny's misgivings about his acting range; the play of his he had the most fun with; the difficulty of getting started as an unconventional writer and why, despite a time of increasingly strident political certainty, he thinks plays that are interested in human nuance will survive.
