Dennis is joined via Zoom by L.A. theater director Bart DeLorenzo to talk about his newest production, Noel Coward's Design for Living at the Odyssey Theatre, as well as his career in general. Bart talks about why the 90 year-old play--about three young, struggling artists who can't seem to live without each other--seems so resonant in this moment. He also talks about his directing process, how he reads a play over and over and over again before he starts putting it on his feet and how he believes there are always two plays going on in any given production; the play on stage and the story that's unfolding in the audience. Other topics include: his memories of seeing plays as a child, what he's observed about Gen Z as a faculty member at the California Institute of the Arts, working with Joan Rivers on her autobiographical play A Piece of Work, looking for actors who make his "heart leap" during the casting process, why he loves Los Angeles how he reacts to people whp say theater in LA sucks, and how "nothing good can ever come from reading reviews." https://www.bartdelorenzo.com/

Welcome to the very first Friday edition of Collected Possibilities, focused on our Existential Question of the Week!  This week's focus is sauces, spreads, toppings, and the like - the added & enhanced flavor experience only a condiment can provide. There are so many different options out there and only a few are so ubiquitous that you can find them in nearly ever US restaurant or home regardless of culture, price point, or style of cuisine. We know our Main Eventers, our Mount Rushmore, dominated by familar named like Ketchup, Mustard, Mayonaise, and BBQ Sauce. That leaves incredible ingredients as relative unknowns to large swathes of people. So lets open our eyes, and mouths, to the possibilities by asking - "What is The Most Under Rated Condiment?" Along the way try not to get caught in the Honey Mustard hate, ruminate on the essence of "zing," and confront our underlying fear of fruit spreads. Be a fly on the wall at Geek Brunch, and learn which condiment is the only one to be picked twice by our esteemed panel of experts!

They also discuss their group CLASSIX, which aims to revive the work of Black playwrights and to “explode” the classical canon.
