Episode #215 - The Leonard Jacobs Show with Mike Daisey
The Leonard Jacobs Show returns with guest Mike Daisey to talk about Mike’s show How Theater Failed America to discuss some of the commentary that has occured about this ‘call to action’. Martin Denton joins the discussion, also.
The discussion ranges from why large regional theatre companies are not really part of the community in which they reside, especially the theatre community, to building bigger and better theatres, to what can be done to change things, to some of the comments that have resulted from Mike’s monologue.
Mike bases many of his observations on years of performing across the country at many different venues. Both Leonard and Martin offer interesting insights on this topic. Mike ends with the hope that, perhaps, as time goes on, changes will occur and they will be for the better.
