Theater History and Mysteries

Theater History and Mysteries

Por: Dr. Jon Bruschke, PhD
I take a musical theater production and do a deep dive to find a richer understanding about the lessons the show has for theater and life.  And, I’ll never miss an opportunity to pursue any mystery, bizarre coincidence, improbable event, or supernatural suggestion along the way because, in the words of Dirk Gentley, it is all connected.You can contact me directly at [email protected] every other Tuesday.  Music by Jon Bruschke and Andrew Howat, arranged, performed, and recorded by Andrew Howat.Check out the interview on Musical Theater Radio, episode 404: https://www.musicaltheatreradio.com/podcast
