LISTEN ON SIMPLECAST

A Different Stage is a winning combo of freewheeling conversation and tight, slick production. You can listen to it here on Simplecast or find it on your podcast app. Bard has commissioned four episodes. I want more. –– Colin Thomas, Fresh Sheet


EPISODE 1: Send In The Clowns

Kayvon gets serious (but not really) about comedy, with Andrew McNee and Luisa Jojic. Mishelle Cuttler shares some music from Made In Canada: An Agricultural Song Cycle, and Tom Pickett contributes a moving rendition of ‘O For A Muse Of Fire’ (Henry V, Prologue).

EPISODE 2: Mom Talk

Kayvon is joined by Sereana Malani and Lindsey Angell to discuss motherhood and the arts. Amanda Sum shares her song Sorry from her upcoming album, and Tai Amy Grauman gives an intimate performance from Othello (Emilia).

EPISODE 3: You’ve Got A Friend In Me

Kayvon is joined by two of his best friends, Austin Eckert and Nadeem Phillip, to discuss the often clumsy act of making friends in the theatre. Anton Lipovetsky shares one of his new singles, Left My Body, and Praneet Akilla delivers a chilling performance from Othello (Iago).

EPISODE 4: Criminally Talented

Kayvon speaks with two legends of the Theatre about what they have seen, and possibly what they’ve done?! Ruby Singh shares some new music from Ruby Singh and the Future Ancestors, and Colleen Wheeler provides a powerful performance from Henry VI, part 2.
