#156 - Alex Panneton & Jared Klein

Let's Grab Coffee

In this week’s episode, I sit down with Alex Panneton and Jared Klein. Alex Panneton and Jared Klein are the writers of “Back To B4: A Bingo Bonanza” which just finished up a tour with Smile Theatre. In our conversation today we discuss how they first were introduced to writing and what spoke to them about writing for theatre, their time in theatre school and the main lessons they took from their training, as well as how they first met and eventually became writing partners. We also discuss the creation of “Back To B4: A Bingo Bonanza” and the advice they would give both fellow writers as well as people about to tour a show, the presence of social media in the arts and how it can be used to create new and exciting experiences for audiences, as well as what they have learned through touring their show and where they hope to see theatre in Canada headed in the future.
