The TRUTH!

Do you want to know what theatre is really all about? Do you want to know how people make great theatre? Then you need to listen to this podcast. They treat each issue with specificity and truthfulness from a perspective of professionals currently working in the industry. I just constantly find myself nodding my head "yes" along to everything they say. Really great group and really smart things and I look forward to more!

New episodes soon?

I have never heard a group of theater professionals discussing so many topics, with so much detail, and such acute insight. From in-depth technique discussions to practical business experiences, episodes of the CRY HAVOC Podcast always keep me thinking for days. I often go back to episodes from earlier seasons to prepare for an audition, rehearsal, or to keep myself focused on building my career and my craft. Will the new season be starting soon? I can't wait to hear the next episode.
