Podcast appearances and mentions of rachel robbins

In this episode of Book Stew, host Eileen MacDougall is joined by author Rachel Robbins to talk about her book The Sound of a Thousand Stars.

We had a fun visit with Rachel Robbins, Producer, Director, Actor, and Theatre Educator of Popcorn Productions, LLC's Melodramas and her team of actors:  Ian Cullin, Samantha Desh, Shade Ingraham, Elizabeth Maack, and Collette Williams.  We also spoke to their Lighting and Sound Designer, Zach Wasserman, as well as one of the youngest ensemble members, Weston. Melodramas just opened their three new shows for Part 1 of their 2024 season which runs from May 24th to August 25th!  Their new shows are:  B Mine Forever by John Burkhart Gary Botter and the Divining Sphere by Julie Eischleman The Phantom of Darkgrove by D. Chapelle Popcorn Productions' Melodramas are fun, rowdy, and a completely different theatre experience than the usual live theatre experience.  Guests are expected to "boo" the villain and "aww" the hero or heroine.  And guests can also opt to throw popcorn or dollar bills (of any $ value of their choosing).  Actors are expected to pick up the tips and continue on with their lines.  These productions are a mixture of theatre and improv, each performance being a different experience with so much crowd interaction. Shows are inside the Denman and Mary Mallory Kountze Memorial Theatre at the Mahoney State Park.  Concessions are available and tickets can be purchased online or at the door.  Also the building is air conditioned and has all the indoor amenities.  So if you are out at Mahoney State Park it is a great escape from the outdoors and enjoy theatre!  CONTACT INFO FOR POPCORN PRODUCTIONS MELODRAMAS: Website: https://www.melodrama.net   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/p/Melodramas-100057354133892/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/popcorn_productions_melodramas/ You can also call for Ticket Reservations:  402-944-2957 Adults are $9, Kids 12 and under are $7.  You can also get a Family Package of 2 Adults and 2 Children for $28.   HOW TO LISTEN TO THE PLATTE RIVER BARD PODCAST: Listen at https://platteriverbard.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.
