(13:11) David Bates is directing Edward Albee’s WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? at Gallery Theater Oct. 10-26. The cast includes Lance Nuttman, Holly Spencer, Reese Madden and Jordan Reed. Host Ed Schoaps dives deep into Albee’s masterwork along with David, Lance and Holly in a lively conversation about truth, illusion and why this searing play is both a comedy and a drama.

(37:47) Oct. 3 is opening night for A COMEDY OF TENORS at Pentacle Theatre and runs through Oct. 25. This madcap farce—by Ken Ludwig and set in 1930s Paris—centers on one hotel suite, four tenors, two wives, three girlfriends and a soccer stadium filled with screaming fans. Director Jennifer Gimzewski and actors Ken Hermens and Geri Greeno give Ed a peek at the coming onstage chaos.

(52:41) Wrap-up.
