Table Read Podcast
Prior to awe-inspiring and breathtakingly breathtaking cold Table Reads of magnificent scripts and fantastic screenplays, we usually discuss in some depth some aspect of the performing arts or arts in general or the arts industries or related life lessons, sort of a presentational brainstorming session with rounded edges and big chunks of chewy chocolate. (Memo to self: never write descriptions when hungry for chocolate.) We’re unabashedly seldom at a loss for pithy words or pithy rhetoric, which is really good if you like pithy, no matter what the topic, perfect qualities for a Table Read podcast or the ancient Roman Senate, SPQR y’all. These podcasts are dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, writer, and fellow performing artist, the incomparable Eugene McDaniels.
