While there are specific skills that go into doing any job, being able to learn by doing and make it up as you go along, is a skill a lot of workers need to have in today's market. With 80% of Americans in a job where they've had little to no training for, a surprising skill is becoming more and more important for workers every day: the ability to improvise. Patricia Ryan Madson is a longtime professor Emerita from Stanford University's theater department. During her time at the university, she founded the Creative Initiative course and the Stanford Summer Improvisation School. She's been a speaker, coach, and advisor for multiple tech giants in the Silicon Valley area, such as Adobe, Google, and Apple.  We wanted to catch up with Patricia to talk about her book “Improv Wisdom: Don't Prepare, Just Show Up,” and how theater skills like improvisation, empathy, and gratitude are imperative for business leaders in today's complicated workforce. In a time when only 15% of workers are engaged, leaders need to find a way to do more with less, and the secrets to that may just lie in some of the oldest theater practices in the world.

Mark Rubinsky It started by sorting screws and bolts as an apprentice at a Summer Stock Theater in Rhode Island. By High School Mark was designing and turning coffee cans into spotlights, scrounging junkyards for lumber, and building scenery. College brought a paid gig in the Theater Department and work as a carpenter at Trinity Square Repertory Company and finally an escape to NY! First as a stage carpenter, electrician, sometimes handyman and dozens of Showcases. One Showcase paid off when “What's A Nice Country Like You Doing in A State Like This” opened off-Broadway and a PA job became a Stage Management job. Harry Chapin's “Cotton Patch Gospel” was up next, and Stage Management became a career. Other favorites include Kander and Ebb's “2 By 5” at the Village Gate, On Your Toes on the road and “Agnes of God.” “Tap Dance Kid” and “Phantom of the Opera” on Broadway to name a few. (The list is long and that is what LinkedIn is for). In the gaps between shows, Mark worked in “Business Theater” when an AEA Stage Manager was required, and the steady work and large budget became irresistible. Before long, Makr was producing the Business Theater events. As an Executive Producer Mark produced shows and meetings that motivated thousands of franchise owners, sales associates, and business executives to sell hamburgers, planes, bulldozers, computers, TVs, cars, hair dye, candy, and lots and lots of pills. It was a blast! Worked with mad scientists at Bell Labs and took Toyota Engineers on a 25,000-mile caravan across North America stopping at manufacturing plants, dealerships, and scenic byways, to hold events. Over 15 years he produced Canon's Expo and Digital Solutions Forums, which included multiple stages and performances alongside copy machines, cameras, and medical imaging equipment. He supervised the building and installation of Media Labs and Briefing Centers for AT&T and Cisco Systems and Lucent in NY and London. Asked by a friend to produce a commission he had written, Mark jumped at the chance and hired the perfect designer/collaborator for the job, Tony Castrigno. Combining multi-media with live performance, “Alexander Hamilton: In Worlds Unknown” ran for five months at the New York Historical Society in 2004. When a business colleague had an idea for a show with Ballroom Dancers interpreting Rock and Roll music and Mark had to be involved and went on to produce a workshop of Ballroom Rocks and a Tour of They Called it Rock. He currently chairs the Board of Directors of the not-for-profit Works In ProgressNYC. And now with his colleague, friend and now business partner, Tony Castrigno, Mark is dedicating this next era to helping artists realize their work on the stage, and bringing it to audiences, everywhere.

 Read Me to Sleep, Ricky host Rick Whitaker is joined by actress Carmela Marner for a reading of James Joyce's classic story "The Dead." In her 1987 review of John Huston's film based on the James Joyce story, Pauline Kael wrote, 'The announcement that John Huston was making a movie of James Joyce's “The Dead” raised the question “Why?” What could images do that Joyce's words hadn't? And wasn't Huston pitting himself against a master who, though he was only twenty-five when he wrote the story, had given it full form? (Or nearly full—Joyce's language gains from being read aloud.)' "The Dead" is the final story in the 1914 collection Dubliners by James Joyce.  It was well-received by critics and academics and described by T. S. Eliot as "one of the greatest stories ever written".Carmela Marner is best known for her stage performances and her direction of the Franklin Stage Company in upstate New York. She is the reader of several books for Audible and appears in the films Puss In Boots, Beauty and the Beast, Call Red, Mission: Impossible, Casualty, Staying Alive, Quid Pro Quo, and Eyes Wide Shut. She is a professor in the Theater Department at SUNY Oneonta.  Support the show

They traveled and toured around world entertaining other military members and their family.  At the end of the tour, Julio was ordered to deploy to Baghdad, Iraq in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, for 12 months.  During the deployment, Julio was selected to direct the Gospel Choir at the Chapel on base.  He was also able to obtain his Associates Degree in Business, at that time. In 2012, after returning from Iraq, Julio was again selected to perform in the Soldier Show.  As the tour came to an end, so did his Active-Duty contract.  Julio then decided to continue serving the country as an Army Reserves Soldier until May 2015.  Julio founded his former Theatre Company “JPete Theatre Company” in 2014 which produced five Main Stage productions, in Houston TX.  He has worked with several Theater Companies in Houston, to include The Ensemble Theater's Young Performer's Program, and Texas Southern University's Theater Department.  Julio attained his bachelor's degree in Vocal Performance (Theatre minor) from Texas Southern University in 2017, and currently works as a Theatre Teacher in Houston Independent School District, where he won his campus' “Teacher of the Year” award in 2019. In 2020, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, Julio and Kirk Rojas created a Children's YouTube channel called “Mr. Pete's Playhouse” which is steadily growing in popularity and resulted in the forming of APATNA Media.

We welcome to the mic for lucky episode 10, Curt Cabot. I have known Curt since our days at VCU in the Theater Department. Life happened and the wonders of Facebook brought us back together.      We now share similar hairstyles, okay my male pattern baldness is well advanced, so much so I shave my head, but Curt keeps pressing on.       Curt is a former student of mine and let me tell you how proud of him I am. We met in Intro to Drama and Scene shop at VCU. He attended the now infamous come as your favorite Porn Star party which served as the Freshmen mixer for the Theater Dept.  Curt began his exploration in art at the ripe old age of 6 singing and acting in musicals and Broadway type shows. Some painting occurred later for him, but his experience with art and creation goes back a long time. He experienced Bob Ross in high school but didn't pursue it.  He played numerous instruments in band from 10 to 21 years old rounding out his artistic education.  We give a shout out to Merchants of Dirt Podcast Kyle Bondo who got me started back into podcasting. So its Kyle's fault folks for all of this.  We then discuss fine Scotch, specifically Oban 18 Year old Scotch. We discuss Scotch Vs Whiskey, specifically how Jameson makes us both want to beat up the Pope. We decide that drinking is an art form unto itself.  Dedication to art is similar to dedication to your job in the military, if you seriously approach either it will take you places where you never knew you could go.  Due to his military job he was able to parlay his acting experience for television as a liaison for shows. He has worked for NCIS and no Abby doesn't work at the real NCIS in Quantico but here is a picture to drool over.  Okay listen to the show now. Abby approved.  Curt worked with Gibbs and Ziva as well on many shoots.    Tim discusses his Oh my Gawd story of meeting Charlton Heston in Mombasa Kenya for the 132548th time. Curt listens politely and tells his better oh my gawd story. He met the actors from the Boondock Saints and did some workouts with them and he also met Toby Keith and played a rousing game of beer pong due to insomnia. Obviously Tim joined the wrong branch.  Curt now applies the lessons learned in his artistic life by looking for art in his travels and looking for something that he has never seen or experienced. This gives him more inspiration to go further and create better works.  Curt volunteers for Habitat for humanity and from his shop class in theater has really helped him in his carpentry skills and he is able to give to his community.  Future projects he is contemplating is directing a show.  The Satanic 7 questions pay attention to question number 1 is of special note where we discuss minimalism and using your monthly discharge as your paint. Curt got 6.75 out of 7 correct. He got our first quarter point for mentioning the Village.  shout outs to Art of Manliness Podcast and Order of Man podcasts.
