Act 2, Scene 1: Desktops & Doughnuts and Trouble on the Wind

Act 2, Scene 1: Desktops & Doughnuts and Trouble on the Wind

In the first episode of Season 2 we are joined by Cameron Jackson (@mr_camjaxn) and Autumn Gubersky (@autumn_gubersky). We chat about poetry and the mysteries of tiktok before diving into the plays. We mixed things up a bit with the formula, as both plays were influenced by the same twitter inspiration (a callback to host Steven's college days).

Both plays were inspired by a tweet from Anthony Rapp (@albinokid). The first play, Desktops & Doughnuts, was written by Cameron Jackson. The second play, Trouble on the Wind, was written by Steven Thomas. Thanks to Anthony Rapp for the inspiration, and thanks to Cameron and Autumn for joining us for another episode.

Quick content warning: there is some minor questionably adult language, so you may want to preview before playing the episode for those younger children. Also there is just a touch of zombie background noises in the 2nd play, so if zombies creep you out, maybe avoid the tail end of Trouble on the Wind.

Thanks as always to Cullen Vance (cullenvancecreative.com) for the music and to Daniel Blue Rodriguez (@BlueWolfD) for the thumbnail artwork.

The views expressed in this episode are entirely those of the individual and do not reflect the views of Missoula Children's Theatre. Thank you to Missoula Children's Theatre for allowing me to use this audio.

We have reached our Season 1 finale! In the episode we are joined by Jonathan Handley who chats with us about defunct colleges, living the renaissance lifestyle, and showing caution when shortening names.

We then perform two plays written by Host Steven. The first, Drop Off, was written originally for Once Upon a Weekend and inspired by a painting. The second, Leaving an Impression, was inspired by a tweet from @LisaMMcgee. Thanks to Lisa and (I'm guessing) Roni Weiss for the inspirations.

Thanks as always to Cullen Vance (CullenVanceCreative.com) for the music and to Daniel Blue Rodriguez (@BlueWolfD) for the thumbnail artwork.

Thanks to Jonathan Handley for guesting on the episode. You can find Jonathan sometimes performing online with the Improv Technology-I.T. Crowd group. More information on their show can be found on Facebook, but a quick warning, their shows tend to use language geared toward adults.

Both plays in the episode were written by Steven Thomas. The first play, Camera Shy, was inspired by either an image or a sentence way back in Steven's college days when he participated in Once Upon a Weekend. The second, Answers in Decimals, was inspired by a tweet from @MariahRoseFaith. That tweet was brought to our attention by @mr_camjaxn. Thanks to both for the inspiration.

Scene 5: Essential Goods and Papers on the Ceiling

Scene 5: Essential Goods and Papers on the Ceiling

In this episode we return to the more standard format of two writer/actors, and we welcome Cody Schmitt onto the podcast.

Content Warning: there is a brief interaction at the beginning of Cody's play involving a pretend cop that may be hard for some to listen to at this time. If you want to avoid it, skip from the 6 minute, 34 second mark to the 7 minute mark.

The music as always is brought to us by Cullen Vance (cullenvancecreative.com). The shows were inspired by tweets from Brent Black and Cher, so thank you both for that.

Scene 3: The Case and Kitchenista

Scene 3: The Case and Kitchenista

On today's episode we are joined by Courtney Brooke Marks and Mark Ujik. This episode deviates from the format a bit, in that Steven wrote both plays for the show, which allows for more acting-focused friends to join in on the fun.

Quick content warning: the first play involves a pretend crime scene investigation, no terrible language but it may be difficult to listen to at this moment. The second play involves some slightly disturbing descriptions of meatballs. You might want to screen the episode before playing it for your kids, just in case.

If you would like to share your thoughts on the episode, you can find us on twitter @webstagepodcast, or via email webstagepodscast@gmail.com.

Scene 2: One for the Books and Light up the Sky

Welcome everyone to our second episode! Ivan Winkler, host of the Teacher's Desk podcast, joins Steven to reminisce about their college days before they get on with the acting business.

You may have noticed the explicit tag attached to this particular episode, that is because the first play involves some language not suitable for younger ears. That play starts at 9 minutes, 45 seconds and ends at the 24 minute mark. Everything else in the episode is at least PG.
