Theatre with Jeff Wolf

"Is THIS the end of Zombie Shakespeare!?" (That's a classic Simpsons quote... and to answer the question: Yes. Yes, it is.) Appearing this week to match brains with John and Shannon is playwright, and digital marketer Jeff Wolf (jeffreywolfplays.com). Nate's guests "trod the boards" over a series of stage and screen themed topics including: Brechtian Theatre, Method Acting, Found Footage, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and The Vagina Monologues. Plus: Original Sketch, Pomme ou pomme de terre, and a bonus! (pew pew pewwwww!) There are no small episodes of A Vague Idea, only small earphones on which to listen to them!

If you're in the Finger Lakes Region, go see Jeff's play there! It's happening, and it's good!
