It is opening night…The curtain is rising. The actors are in position. Directors have given their final notes. Designers have made their last fixes (tweaks); stage managers have called places. The audience is waiting with bated breath…and just for a moment…before we step from the real world into a new world… The artists think of all the work it took to get to this moment. Welcome to 5 til GO! A podcast delving into the before moments, specifically the dramaturgical elements and behind-the-scenes aspects of shows produced at Actor’s Express. Hosted by Amanda Washington.
