We start with the seasons opening gala (what an event!) and talk through the seasons productions. I pick his brain about the upcoming season, possible plays he’s thinking about and what the future might look like for the Barnstormers.

Sometimes the stars just align correctly this past weekend I had a chance to head out to The Barnstormers Theater in Tamworth got a chance to speak with some of the cast members out there about their upcoming production of the 25th annual Putnam County spelling bee, and I’ll tell you what after seeing the show it is hysterical, absolutely hysterical. By the time you hear this interview, they’ll have already finished their first weekend but their second weekend is coming up. You really should get out there if you get a chance to see this production hey you know what is a good idea go to the matinee on Saturday check out the Tamworth farmers market first they give you a little chance to walk around. It’s a beautiful beautiful setting for Theater and then going on over to the matinee and enjoy yourself. You’ll laugh like you haven’t laughed in years. It’s just tremendous.
The final Wednesday of each month is our “One Hit Wonder Wednesday” on the program, a chance to bring back some memories and get some songs stuck in your head for the next couple of days.
