This episode focuses on the musical Yank!, which premieres at The Gallery Players in Park Slope, Brooklyn, in October 2007.  Joseph and David Zellnik, who are brothers, are the authors of the musical, and Matt Schicker is the producer — all three are on hand for this fascinating discussion with moderator Martin Denton.

Yank! is set during World War II, and tells the story of a reporter for “Yank” Magazine (a publication for the military) who falls in love with a soldier. (Both are guys.)

Matt also tells the story of how Yank! came to The Gallery Players, in which nytheatre.com figures rather prominently.
