On June 8, 2020, the pandemic already raging, the BIPOC proclamation "We See You, White American Theater" challenged theater to acknowledge the problem and address it. The current commercial season boasts 7 plays by BIPOC writers, and regional theaters have announced their most diverse seasons to date. Is it enough?

Two years in shutdown has pushed us to expand our creative skill set.

In the room: entrepreneur, producer, writer and groundbreaking theater manager and owner Eric Krebs talks of a dedicated life in New York theater. Co-founder of the George Street Playhouse, and manager for years of the John Houseman and Douglas Fairbanks Theatres, Eric has been a part of the evolution of off-Broadway, through the creation of Theatre Row to running several of his own theater spaces including the current Theatre 555 on West 42nd Street. He shares his experiences with candor and offers insights into the challenges of maintaining off-Broadway as a viable environment for developing theater artists and art.

Henry G. Lee was a poet, a South Pasadena High graduate, and a soldier in World War 2.  He was captured while defending the Bataan Peninsula and spent the war in a POW concentration camp. His poetry, found wrapped in canvas and buried beneath his tent, expresses the reality, the despair and the longing experienced by his men. He died in a Japanese "Hell Ship", bombed by American planes.

"You are a man, and so am I." In 1848, former slave Frederick Douglass published at letter to Thomas Auld, his former slave master, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of his escape.

His "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass/ American Slave" will be recorded later in our season.

We're so fortunate to have long time friends who coincidentally happen to be wonderful artists. Such is the case with Mr. Warren C. Bowles, a compatriot from University of Notre Dame, University of Minnesota, Angers France, and a founding member of the Mixed Blood Theater, actor, director, and teacher, in arts-vibrant Minneapolis. "Bowles" stopped by for a PNT reunion last week while visiting LA, and we harassed him into giving us a bit of his favorite Shakespeare, The Tempest. Two bits, actually. Caliban's plea to escape his enslavement, and Prospero's plea to the audience to free him to go back to Naples. Two short speeches that once again display the imaginative genius of the boy from Stratford. Who else would put poetry into the mouth of a half human/ half beast. Who else would ask the audience' breath to fill his sails back to his homeland. So effortless. (5 minutes)

ElectraCast Media is pleased to bring you interviews with lead cast members from The Last Saturday Night courtesy of the Too Opinionated podcast with host Mike Wall. Tall and imposing, Nevada native Chris Browning initially intended to be a screenwriter but enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles without realizing it was a school for actors only. Taking to the craft, Browning received one of his first parts in a Dr. Pepper commercial before spending the 1990s working in television. While continuously battling substance abuse, Browning's roles included a regular part in the short-lived baseball sitcom Hardball and a seven-episode guest appearance on LL Cool J's first show In the House. Browning's problems with addiction led to a period of homelessness before finding sobriety in Taos, New Mexico. Five years of inactivity ended when Browning responded to a call for extras for the Western mini-series Into the West. During his comeback, Browning moved away from televised comedy and into big-screen action. A small part as a deputy sheriff in 3:10 to Yuma helped raise Browning's profile, as well as pairing him for the first time with popular actor Christian Bale. The two teamed up again for the fourth installment in the "Terminator" science-fiction series, Terminator Salvation. Browning has continued working steadily, playing small parts in major action films like Cowboys & Aliens while displaying his versatility in independent productions including Felon, in which he played a Neo-Nazi prisoner.  Chris is also known for his roles in Bright, Ray Donovan, Westworld, The Lincoln Lawyer, The 100, Bosch, Agent Carter, The Bridge, Wildfire, and As the World Turns.  Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe) Check out the Website: Meisterkhan.com Based on true stories, The Last Saturday Night scripted podcast follows a diverse cast of characters who use humor, delivery apps, booze, weed and Zoom meetings to cope with their new reality.

ElectraCast Media is pleased to bring you interviews with lead cast members from The Last Saturday Night courtesy of the Too Opinionated podcast with host Mike Wall. The sultry, versatile, petite (5' 4") beauty Sherilyn Fenn was born Sheryl Ann Fenn in Detroit, Michigan, into a family of musicians. The youngest of three children, her mother, Arlene Quatro, played keyboard in rock bands, her aunt is rock-star Suzi Quatro, and her grandfather, Art Quatro, was a jazz musician. Her father, Leo Fenn, was the manager of such bands as The Pleasure Seekers (the all-girl band formed by the Quatro sisters), Alice Cooper, and The Billion Dollar Babies. Fenn began her career with a number of B-movies including The Wild Life (alongside Chris Penn), skater film Thrashin' (opposite Josh Brolin) and teen-fantasy movie The Wraith (opposite Charlie Sheen). She had a memorable part in the cult teen-comedy Just One of the Guys in which she tries to seduce a teenage girl disguised as a boy, played by Joyce Hyser. Fenn landed her first starring role, as an engaged heiress to an old Southern family experiencing her sexual awakening in Zalman King's erotic drama film Two Moon Junction, after which she said she wanted to hide for a year. Fenn won her most outstanding role and made an indelible impression on the public when she was cast by David Lynch and Mark Frost as the tantalizing Audrey Horne, the high-school femme fatale from the critically acclaimed TV series Twin Peaks. The series ran from 1990 to 1991, and the character of Audrey was one of the most popular with fans, in particular for her unrequited love for FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper (played by Kyle MacLachlan) and her style from the '50s (with her saddle shoes, plaid skirts and tight sweaters). Sherilyn made a memorable impression as the cherry stem-twisting siren. Sherilyn is the lead actress for the hit new audio drama, The Last Saturday Night. She is also known for her roles on Twin Peaks, Of Mice and Men, Boxing Helena, Cave Dweller, SWAT, Goliath, Titans, The Magicians, and Shining Vale.  Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe) Check out the Website: Meisterkhan.com Based on true stories, The Last Saturday Night scripted podcast follows a diverse cast of characters who use humor, delivery apps, booze, weed and Zoom meetings to cope with their new reality.

Tired of the bad guys winning? Ready for some good news? In Podreams, original stories are retold in a way that will make any progressive (or caring individual) happy.  Trump gets his from a GOP senator at an outrageous rally.  Abuse victims at a NYC dotcom get even with their grabby boss. Racist white cops are send to re-education centers on a SOUTHERN PLANTATION for a REAL lesson in white privilege. And, in a pod dreams exclusive, a first-hand tour of HELL to see what the Devil has in store for Rush Limbaugh, Dick Cheney and Trump. From award winning documentarians, filmmakers and podcast creators, every episode is an entertaining original story, told like a real radio-doc, with new characters and liberal wish fulfillment on full display.  Tonic for tough times until this country (hopefully) gets its ass back on track!

TRUMP SHAMED AND GONE!

If you hate Trump, his enablers and everything he stands for you, will love this story!

A modern day Emperor’s New Clothes, ENOUGH OF YOU tells the story of a republican senator who, stricken by Covid-19, righteously utters three  short words at a rally that have the exact right impact at the exact right time—words that will turn the tide of history against Trump.

Told in two episodes, you’ll hear the events leading up to that fateful rally and listen in as Trump unravels. You'll hear him turn against Fox News and his cult followers—and lose resoundingly on election day.

PART ONE:

2020. In just four years Trump had raped and ravished the U.S.  Hundreds of thousands  dead from Covid. Unemployment at depression levels. Looting in the  streets.  Yet, as the election neared, Fox News and his rabid followers stood by him. So did Republican Oklahoma senator Rockwell Jansen. But  Jansen has a secret—  and a giant surprise in store about to be unleashed at an explosive political rally that will change EVERYTHING.

PART TWO:

Republican Senator  Rockwell Jansen had been Trump’s staunchest ally.   The stage was set  for his big speech at a “Make America Re-open” rally in Oklahoma City.  But as Trump introduces him, he doesn't know  that his world, and history, are about to change.  Jansen’s about to  utter three words that will knock Trump down to size and lead to his  downfall.  In the second and final episode of this premiere episode of  Poddreams, we hear Trump unravel and get knocked off of his throne of  lies once and for all.

THE TRIDENT is a tale told in five episodes about three savvy women blazing their paths  in New York. With prestigious jobs at a hugely successful website, the  tight circle of friends feel like life is working out just as they wanted. As is sadly too often the case, however, their boss at the prestigious dotcom start-up where they work, is a soul-sucking  sexual predator. But rather than play the role of victims, they plot a clever tale of revenge to humiliate and shame him in a bold attempt at leveling the playing field. It turns into a cat and mouse contest where the stakes include a fragile male ego, female empowerment, infidelity,  cyber-warfare and death threats.

ACT I:

Mary, fresh off the bus from Kentucky, lands a job writing for a hot  website called “Monkeyteeth,” where she befriends savvy and scrappy  Lena—who has a hit blog of her own. When they meet June, a high society  but down to earth security tech engineer, the three move into June’s 25  million-dollar Park Avenue duplex and dub themselves the “Trident.”   They’re living the New York dream, but don’t yet know the owner of  Monkeyteeth is a sexual predator waiting to pounce.

ACT II: 

The “Trident,” as Mary, Lena and June call themselves, feel like New  York society darlings. At Monkeyteeth, the website where they landed  their dream jobs, Lena’s pseudo brain science blog “Get The Dope,” is a  sensation and Mary find her niche with a fictional blog called “The  Troika”—about a trio of fabulously fun and wealthy young Manhattan  socialites, modeled after themselves. But when Howard, Monkeyteeth’s  CEO, lures Mary to his brownstone and pulls a “Weinstein,” the wind goes  out of Mary, Lena and June’s sails.  But June is having none of it—and a  long plot of revenge is born.

ACT III:

June guns for Howard, Monkeyteeth’s founder, for accosting her friend Mary. Her revenge plot includes completely inventing a young sex-starved teen from scratch, and then using her high- security clearance and social media skills to “virtually” link the “Lolita” to Howard. When Howard’s wife thinks he’s having an affair, it puts Monkeyteeth’s multi-billion-dollar acquisition in jeopardy, as well as the Trident’s safety.

ACT IV "THE WEENIE ROAST"

Trying to ruin Howard “virtually” wasn’t enough for The Trident.   After June’s sexy “Lolita” emails fail to destroy him, she takes it up a notch, and puts herself at risk. The next plot of revenge against  the serial molester will put June directly in harm’s way.  As the minutes to MonkeyTeeth’s multi-billion-dollar acquisition close in, the  three women set out to ravish their abuser and expose him to the world.

ACT V:

After narrowly escaping harm, and inflicting severe and humiliating pain on Howard, June sets out to share the shocking video of Howard’s attempted rape with the world wide web. But harsher forces are at play, and soon the Trident find themselves not only being destroyed online, but threatened in real life.  In this final episode of the Trident, Mary, Lena and June navigate dangerous waters as the fate of their revenge scheme, and their lives are at stake.
