SUBURBAKNIGHT: Act Two Walter Knope has finally discovered the one thing worse than suspecting your new neighbor is a sex demon. Being right. Inside Richard's immaculate house, Walter gets the confirmation he was looking for. The Maitlands are dead. Richard isn't human. And he isn't just interested in Samantha. He wants everything Walter has. Walter tries to warn Sam. It goes badly. What starts as an argument about Richard quickly becomes an argument about money, sex, failure, jealousy and every other thing a married couple has been politely not saying out loud. Sam packs a bag. Walter, terrified Richard will get to her, practically helps her leave. Written by Nick Bannister, SUBURBAKNIGHT is a wicked suburban horror-comedy about marriage, masculinity and what happens when your midlife crisis actually grows horns. Walter needs someone who understands monsters. Enter Bobby Joe Williams. Local horror host. Full-time drunk. Part-time monster expert. Possibly the least reassuring person you could want standing between your family and eternal damnation. Bobby Joe confirms the bad news. Richard is an incubus. He feeds on souls, controls his victims through desire and, unfortunately, appears to be immortal. Meanwhile, Richard has already started remaking the neighborhood. Walter goes looking for Andy and instead finds him dead in the bathtub, his wife Alli transformed into something considerably less neighborly. Walter barely escapes with his life. Then Samantha comes home. Richard is waiting. This time, Sam sees him too. When Richard finally drops the charm and shows them what he really is, he offers Walter everything he ever wanted. Money. Freedom. A fresh start. All he wants in return is Samantha. Walter says no. Then Mia introduces Richard's face to a medieval mace. For a moment, it feels like the Knopes may actually have this thing under control. Then Richard takes their daughter. Now Walter and Sam are done running. They need Mia back. They need help. Unfortunately, the closest thing they have to a professional is Bobby Joe Williams in boxer shorts drinking margarita straight from a blender pitcher. So they do what any responsible parents would do. They raid the failed antique business. Crossbow. Mace. Axe. Sword. Armor. Walter's junk has finally found a purpose. And across the street, Richard is waiting. Starring Darin Toonder, Jim O'Heir, Jade Tailor, Jack Daniel, Rob Fitzgerald, Logan Laurel, Emily Brolin, Ashley Platz, and Zeke Alton. Produced by Table Read Podcast and Manifest Media Productions, LLC. Executive Produced by Jack Levy, Shaan Sharma, and Mark Knell.

"I really do believe that the arts are critical to how we move forward together, and live performance in particular, I think, is a way of us practicing how to move across our ideological boundaries and find one another and imagine these new worlds together and create together."Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex. Before stepping into this role, she spent nineteen years at The Public Theater, shaping the city's cultural landscape through Joe's Pub and expansive community initiatives.

“Lincoln Center is multiple stages. I think probably over three dozen stages across 16 acres. It is a vast canvas in and of itself. And then we have this beautiful plaza that leads to this beautiful campus, and that's the visual I think that most people have when they think of Lincoln Center is this beautiful fountain in the center and these three gorgeous buildings.It's New York's biggest plaza, and it feels very vibrant and beautiful. In the summer, we really take that plaza and we transform it into a dance floor. So this idea of also interrupting what people's notion of Lincoln Center is because it's a space that is very aspirational, which is a great thing.”Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex.

Hey there, music lovers! Welcome to Why Music Matters!  Today, we kick off a special intermittent series called “generations,” focusing on families that have passed on their love of music from parents to children, and have created musical legacies in the process.  I could think of no better way to kick this series off than to invite Linda Appleby and her daughter, Zuri Appleby, to the studio for a chat about the way that music has crossed generational lines in their family.  Linda is a renowned and highly lauded music educator and advocate for music and the arts all across Western New York. Here in Buffalo, Linda is seen as the Queen of our music scene -  a scene that she helped to build through her work as a teacher, music director, and artist manager, and that she continues to foster through her consistent advocacy.  Zuri started her musical journey as a 5 year-old singing in church choirs, and deepened her commitment as she took up guitar at age 7, eventually settling on the bass, continuing the tradition started by her father, the renowned bassist and educator Rodney Appleby.  A mere 3 days after she graduated from the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, Zuri began her service in the Marine Corps,  as the first female bassist of color to play in the USMC Band.  After completing her service, Zuri wasted little time making a name for herself in the civilian world, and became a member of Nick Jonas' band in 2015. After moving to Los Angeles in 2016, Zuri began to accumulate some top-tier gigs, performing with the likes of Adam Lambert and Lizzo, with whom she would go on to complete two headlining world tours.  During their visit to the studio, Linda and Zuri discussed the pivotal role that music played in their family life, the importance of music education, and the need to carve out space for reflection and personal growth within the hustle and bustle of the music industry. Welcome to Why Music Matters, Linda and Zuri!  Produced by 678Main Studio and Creative Services https://678main.com --- Follow Why Music Matters on social media https://instagram.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://www.facebook.com/whymusicmatterspodcast https://twitter.com/wmmpod

“Lincoln Center is multiple stages. I think probably over three dozen stages across 16 acres. It is a vast canvas in and of itself. And then we have this beautiful plaza that leads to this beautiful campus, and that's the visual I think that most people have when they think of Lincoln Center is this beautiful fountain in the center and these three gorgeous buildings.It's New York's biggest plaza, and it feels very vibrant and beautiful. In the summer, we really take that plaza and we transform it into a dance floor. So this idea of also interrupting what people's notion of Lincoln Center is because it's a space that is very aspirational, which is a great thing.”Shanta Thake is the Chief Artistic Officer at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts—the nation's largest performing arts complex. Before stepping into this role, she spent nineteen years at The Public Theater, shaping the city's cultural landscape through Joe's Pub and expansive community initiatives. Today, she is tearing down walls—both the literal barriers separating Lincoln Center from its neighbors, and the figurative ones that dictate who belongs in our cultural spaces. She views the arts not as a luxury, but as essential civic infrastructure.

This was an interview episode of the Speaking and Communicating Podcast where Roberta hosted Sandra Bargeman, a voice and presence coach with a 35-year career in entertainment. Sandra shared her journey from starting performing at age six to becoming an actor, singer, director, and ordained minister, explaining how she combined her creative and spiritual paths through her company Sacred Stages LLC. They discussed how Sandra's acting background provides natural skills for coaching leaders on voice, presence, and authentic communication, emphasizing that true presence comes from being comfortable with one's authentic self rather than trying to be larger-than-life. Sandra explained her philosophy that finding oneself is the wrong goal, instead suggesting that people should focus on setting down what stands in the way of revealing their true identity. The conversation concluded with Sandra's advice for authentic grounding, recommending that people take deep breaths in challenging moments to choose courageous responses over reactive behavior.Next stepsRobertaConnect with Sandra on LinkedIn and Instagram.Update the workflow on PodMatch regarding the episode with Sandra.Send Sandra the listening links and YouTube video link when the episode is published in the fourth week of August.SandraShare the published episode with her network when notified by Roberta.SummaryPodcast Guest Interview PlanningRoberta welcomed Sandra Bargeman to the Speaking and Communicating Podcast, discussing her background as a voice and presence coach from upstate New York. They agreed that Roberta would notify Sandra when the YouTube video is published in the fourth week of August and share the links on LinkedIn and Instagram. Sandra expressed her commitment to sharing the episode with her network, and they briefly discussed the challenges of getting podcast guests to promote their appearances.Performing Arts and Spiritual JourneySandra shared her 35-year career in performing arts, which began in childhood and included theater, music, commercials, and film work. She explained how she combined her performing career with her spiritual journey by enrolling in an interfaith seminary in her mid-40s and later creating her own company Sacred Stages LLC. Sandra described how COVID impacted her performing work but led her to create a podcast based on her "Edge of Everyday" concepts, which has become a significant part of her career.Sandra's Creative and Spiritual JourneySandra discussed her personal mission of knowing herself deeply, which flows through her creative, spiritual, and leadership journeys. She explained how her parents supported her artistic pursuits, including her violin playing and theater interests, with her mother being her greatest champion. Sandra described how she cannot separate her creative life from her spiritual life, explaining that artists often experience their work as a spiritual journey connecting them to something larger than themselves, drawing parallels between performing and spiritual practices.Voice and Presence DevelopmentSandra discussed how her natural talent for voice and presence developed through her career in entertainment, including her musical background and 30 years of voiceover work. She explained that actors naturally develop skills in voice control, breathing, and body awareness through their training and experience playing different roles. Sandra emphasized that presence comes from confidence in one's authentic story rather than from being the loudest or most aggressive, noting that truly confident people remain solid in their identity regardless of external reactions.Authentic Leadership PresenceSandra discussed the importance of authentic leadership presence, explaining that effective leaders should focus on being their true selves rather than adopting a false authoritative persona. She emphasized that today's successful leadership requires soft skills like empathy, communication, and collaboration, rather than traditional authoritarian behavior. Sandra noted that leaders seeking her coaching are already aware they need to shift away from role-playing and masks, understanding that genuine authenticity inspires trust and engagement from their teams.Self-Discovery and Personal GrowthRoberta and Sandra discussed the concept of "finding oneself," with Sandra explaining that the goal should be about setting down what stands in the way of self-discovery rather than going outside to find oneself. Sandra emphasized that the real work involves looking in the mirror through relationships and being willing to face difficult truths, particularly in personal relationships. She advised using breath as a tool for regulating emotions during challenging moments and making courageous choices rather than reactive responses. Sandra also shared details about her Edge of Everyday podcast and offered her services for voice, presence, and storytelling coaching through MagicThreadMedia.com. Connect with Sandra:Sandra Bargman's Website: sandrabargman.comBook a Consultation / Magic Thread Media: magicthreadmedia.comSandra's Podcast: The Edge of Everyday Podcast (Streaming on all major platforms)YouTube: Sandra Bargman on The Edge of EverydayListen to the Podcast, subscribe, leave a rating and a review:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-have-executive-presence-voice-coaching-w-sandra/id1614151066?i=1000781371307Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1MPWlv1AbVroFsrvBCmHRX?si=EDxs1an7RDu-m7wm1TL28ghttps://open.spotify.com/episode/1MPWlv1AbVroFsrvBCmHRXYouTube: https://youtu.be/hpR50dBjntw

Welcome Arizona native, Mace Santa Maria! We cover Mace's move from Phoenix to Nashville four years ago, following a formative year at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. She discusses learning the drums at age 10, major influences like the Jonas Brothers' drummer Jack Lawless (whom she recently met), and how Broadway demands fast adaptation through cues, band-specific arrangements, and on-the-fly decisions.
