I’m thrilled that my very first podcast guest, MELODY RACHEL, returned for this lively conversation centered around her latest original solo theatre piece, Demo, which just premiered at the Sydney Fringe Festival.
Our chat centers around the challenges theatre makers face when approaching potentially provocative themes and subjects. How do we weigh the desire to be truthful—to speak from our lived experience—with the need to arm ourselves against activist forces that prefer to silence and de-platform, rather than engage in dialogue or debate?

My own solo show, Lived Experience, premieres Thursday, October 19 at 9:30PM at the Triad Theater in New York City, with an additional performance on October 26 (my birthday!). The October 26 show will be live streamed—tickets are on sale now!
