A story that needs to be told

“A captivating dive into the ugly inner workings and mismanagement of personnel at a renowned Tony Award-winning theatre, its dangerous effects on employees’ mental health — and what happens when the abused dared to speak up or fight back.
While a theatre audience usually only gets to see the finished product as it reaches them across the footlights, this tale is different. It takes us backstage — into auditions and casting, rehearsals, previews, opening night and beyond, as its sad yet fascinating tale of abuse and mistreatment unfolds.
I couldn’t believe my ears at first and could hardly wait until the next episode - but I also had to “come up for air” from time to time since it was heartbreaking to learn about the sheer incompetence of this storied theatrical institution and the suffering endured by the protagonist.
This is an important story and one that deserves to be widely shared - not just for fans of theatre, but for anyone who knows what it’s like to be bullied or “othered” and recognizes the need for a broader discussion of mental health in our society. May this podcast be a catalyst for change in the theatre industry and beyond. Thank you, Sean, for shining your light.”

“I’ve discovered this podcast while listening to DRAMA with Connor & Dylan MacDowell—and I’m so glad I did. The storytelling is fantastic. I am completely intrigued. I am only a few episodes into season 1 but I can’t wait to listen to more. It’s good on so many levels.”

“Mental health can still be such a hard topic to discuss. Performers are asked to do so many things and the mental toll is not often addressed. This is a must listen in my opinion!”
