In this episode, Randy and Tyler dig in to a very special play, Icebound by Owen Davis.  Why is it so special?  The play takes place in Randy's hometown (population < 2000)!

Synopsis from wikipedia:  The Jordan family is on their farm in Veazie, Maine in October 1922. They await the reading of the will by Judge John Bradford of the family matriarch who has just died. Much to the family's dismay, the farm and all of the money has been left to a distant cousin Jane Crosby. Jane has been told that she is to take care of the legal trouble of the young son of the family, Ben. Ben had left because he accidentally burned a neighbor's farm. Ben begins a flirtatious relationship with Nettie, the adopted daughter of Emma Jordan.

******* IN OUR NEXT EPISODE *******
Join us as we discuss the play The Flick by Annie Baker, winner of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Synopsis from stageagent.com: In a movie theater near Worcester, MA (called The Flick) -- one of the few that hasn't yet switched to digital film -- three employees work dreary jobs for just above minimum wage: selling tickets, cleaning up after patrons, and running the projector. The economy is depressed and so are they, and yet over the course of this Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, Sam, Rose, and Avery show themselves to be complex, feeling people with unrealized ambitions to become more than their dreary surroundings. Annie Baker's drama unfolds in unhurried naturalistic scenes (much to the frustration of some early audiences at the New York premiere), and her astonishingly well observed and subtle characterizations suggest a Chekhovian ability to forge compelling drama from the littleness of everyday life.

Note: This episode was recorded in 2021 amidst the COVID-19 ("Coronavirus") pandemic.
