The Power of Titles and Authentic Storytelling

Theater is by nature ephemeral: even the greatest of performances are fleeting, thrilling a single audience before disappearing into history. But what if you could travel through time and space to be present at any production? Where would you go, and what would you see? In this episode, friend of the podcast Laurie Frankel (Family, Family) helps Jacke choose the ten best performances they wish they'd seen. PLUS theater expert James Shapiro stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.
