Niki Guinan and I met for the first time doing this podcast as a recommendation from a colleague from my high school theatre days. Niki is running two versions of Winnie the Pooh entirely online for 44 elementary school students. It's all Zoom, she's cutting it together, and she's awesome.

This is the first episode of The Show Must Go Online, a podcast created and hosted by Danny Hughes with the goal of helping theatre professionals and educators find ways to "make it work" in an increasingly digital theatrical world. 

In the second episode of The Show Must Go Online, I talk with husband and wife Rob Carroll and Abby Olson-Carroll. Rob's a K12 Theatre teacher and Abby is a theatre professional in South Carolina, but I met them doing community theatre in Carroll County, Maryland about ten years ago. 

This episode covers a lot, like how to choose a show not just for monetary gain, but for social change (even in a pandemic) and how to put on Tartuffe in your living room while your husband tries to entertain two large dogs in a bedroom.
