Episode 4 Show Notes
Wherein Jacob and Adrienne talk about how much a person can do, what "the audience" wants and the pros and cons of independent theatre festivals for developing new work.
They also talk about
the benefits of leaving hang-out space when programming cultural events,
whether David Mamet is a cheery sort of guy,
different forms of community theatre,
the importance of doing it yourself,
starting where people are,
the relative merits of patronage,
crowd-sourced funding,
Adrienne's approach to writing Final Reports,
Jacob's waves of Vancouver-envy,
when the audience's experience of a show begins,
