Send us a text On this episode of ARC, I chat with my good friend Gary Sullivan about our time together in local community theatre, and how working from home during the pandemic allowed us to watch stuff that we'd never seen.

We also talk about our shared experiences playing the same role in the play "12 Angry Men."
