UNTG #18--The Most Interesting Shoes I've Ever Seen

Guest hosts Amy and Nick Bennett-Zendzian, Cari Keebaugh, and Neal Leaheey discuss community vs. professional theater--what's even the difference nowadays? Amy praises gender-flipping in community theater, Nick recalls the joys of playing an obnoxious teenager in one of the earliest UN shows, Cari debates questions of compensation for artists, and Neal talks about his foray into producing opera. Finally, Cari and Nick perform a scene of deeply snackable nostalgia which we are certain will go viral. Mentioned in this episode: The company Neal refers to is the Contemporary Theater Company in Wakefield, RI: http://www.contemporarytheatercompany.com The Post-Meridean Radio Players: http://www.pmrp.org (Check out Amy's audio drama "The Yellow Wallpaper" featuring Cari.)

UNTG #17--Sitzprobe Until One In The Morning

Being unable to recall anything else about their web series, Laura, Will, and Carl’s conversation drifts to YA books from their youths. Topics include depressing books from the ‘70s, the trouble with adapting “A Wrinkle in Time” for the stage, and a debate on how to make the motorcycle noise from “The Mouse and the Motorcycle.” Then Will and Carl read a short piece from Carl’s new-economy kidnapping satire “StockHome.” Mentioned in this episode: Will Kurtz’s “Inventing Kot:” http://inventingkot.tumblr.com Spoiler alert for the endings to the following books: “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes,” “Stone Fox,” “The Mouse and the Motorcycle,” and “A Wrinkle in Time.” The podcast Carl refers to is “Sophomore Lit” with John McCoy, and is usually very good; they just really didn’t get “A Wrinkle In Time.” https://www.theincomparable.com/sophomorelit/ Send your remarks on topics mentioned in this show to unreliablenarratorpodcast@gmail.com.
