It’s opening night! The wonderful Joe Iconis ("Be More Chill," "The Untitled Unauthorized Hunter S. Thompson Musical") joins our very first episode to discuss haunted scripts, Joe’s death in “Waitress,” and Hunter S. Thompson blowin’ things up. Then, lounge singer Analise Ivories stops by to discuss music, martinis, and being trapped on top of a piano. Finally, porn playwright Neil Semen lifts the curtain behind such master(batory)pieces as "The Odd Cumple," "Laughter on the 69th Floor," and more.
