Our fearless "So...Now What?" theme song composer, Monsieur Alex Bechtel, drops by to talk about being the busiest man in Philadelphia, writing music for Shakespeare's words, how writing and acting feed into each other, and how he "lied up" his way into sound designing. We also talk about music being in his blood, his musical theater obsessions, how he ended up staying in Philly, and how he is learning to not take things so personally. And, of course, his love for Peter Gabriel.   Rate and review us on iTunes and Stitcher so you can help us help you enjoy the hour you spend with us each week!

Listen in as Rachel Camp and I cozy up and talk about a promising idea for the 2nd and 3rd seasons of "So...Now What?", a brand new theme song sung by Rachel herself, and get played out with some spooky harping by the lady hersellf!   She also talks about her being a perfectionist and a planner, how teaching theatre is about healing and helping young folk evolve as humans, acting as therapy, and not letting Tiny Rachel control her actions. We end with how she does, or does not celebrate herself, and what she "didn't plan" to talk about!   Make sure to rate and review us on iTunes, Stitcher, or wherever you found us!

Barrymore Award winning Director and Theatre Horizon co-founder and Arden Theatre Company's Associate Artistic Director Matt Decker joins me on the podcast before heading off to an Ashram in the Bahamas (no joke) to talk about finding balance, choosing material to direct, being a baby director, and building a theatre company from the ground up. We also talk about continuing to find the fun in work, not being a yes man, being present, and what's next.

Listen in as Caroline Dooner and I get meta in this podcast and talk about her quitting and un-quitting acting, her multitude of epiphanies, and some "serious" stuff like The Fuck it Diet and health not being the same as weight. We also talk about what's going right in her life for once, taking lie downs, #modelswantingmore, and being a mute princess.

Jeff Coon joins the podcast and I get to make fun of him for being "Jeff Coon", as well as talk to him about being a father in the business, his new baby The Summer Club, moonlighting as Bingo the Clown, and being the Cyclops/Scott Summers of the Philadelphia theatre community.

Philadelphia based Actor/Teaching Artist extraordinaire Alex Keiper joins me on the maiden voyage of the "So...Now What?" podcast as we talk about the origins of Alex Keiper, and the important stuff like never having to leave your apartment, empathizing as a theater artist, and picking your nose.
