REP THEATRE l and REP RADIO adds four new podcasts to round out theater coverage focusing on actors, directors, writers and production teams.
Philadelphia, PA - Represented Theatre Company becomes REP THEATRE and re-invents the brands! REP RADIO to include a variety of new and exciting podcasts in the new REPRESENTED PODCAST NETWORK. The podcast network will feature our regular hosts in their very own shows! Chris Morse will host ACTING OUT, Todd Holtsberry will host DIRECT ME IF I'M WRONG, Kristen Scatton will host INSIDE THE WRITER'S MIND and OUT OF SIGHT is honored to welcome Christopher Haig as our new host. The official launch date: April 21, 2011.
REP THEATRE - Since 2005, Represented Theatre Company has quietly produced two original works (Sidewalk Cafe and Conversations From The Cafe), several Philadelphia Premieres (Dating Games, Hugging The Shoulder), in Philadelphia until the creation of REP RADIO, an idea that was born in the early stages of the company, changed the idea of our mission "to promote creativity through the creation and exposure of new vessels of artistic expression" to include "collaboration".
REP RADIO - the podcast that features performing artists in the Greater Philadelphia area, breaking the fourth wall to give you an inside look at the plays and the players. Since 2009, Rep Radio has produced over 150 episodes featuring up and coming as well as Barrymore winning and nominated productions including Wilma Theater's "Becky Shaw", Brat Productions' "A 24-Hour The Bald Soprano," Arden Theatre's "Peter Pan" and many many more companies. Rep Radio has covered the SPARK Showcase, Philly Fringe, PlayPenn and the red carpet at the 2009 and 2010 Barrymore Awards for Excellence in Philadelphia Theatre. The podcast produces weekly and can be found in the iTunes Store.
REP R.A.D.I.O. welcomes four new podcasts to the network in April 2011:
Acting Out - The podcast that digs a little deeper to find out what fuels the fire? What draws an actor to the stage like a moth to a flame. This is "Acting Out", with Chris Morse.
Direct Me If I'm Wrong - This podcast gets down to business with local directors to explore the process that turns a script into something magical on stage. Exit stage right or "Direct Me, If I'm Wrong" with Todd Holtsberry.
Inside The Writer's Mind - From coffee shops to bus stops, plays don't write themselves. What happens when ideas and life experience flood your mind and somehow make their way to the paper? Inspiration is not hard to find when we go "Inside The Writer's Mind",with Krissy Scatton.
Out of Sight - The podcast that takes you behind the scenes of Philadelphia's theater artists featuring designers and stage managers who are the ties that bind a great production. The sound, the stage, the light are "Out Of Sight," with Christopher Haig
