We’ll be doing a live taping of the podcast at the Laurel Park Chautauqua tomorrow. We’ll be on around 3:15, with a special guest. The shindig starts at 11am, and it’s free!
Also, tomorrow night there’s a reunion of The Aloha Steamtrain at the Iron Horse. The Aloha Steamtrain features Lord Russ, who wrote and performs the Bill Dwight Show theme song. He doesn’t live around these parts anymore, so it’s good to catch him when he’s around. And, of course, it’s always good to be entertained by those talented Rub Wrongways folks.

New Century Theatre is celebrating its 20th anniversary by revisiting favorite productions from their past seasons. Opening this week is The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), which sold out the Academy of Music back in February as part of this year’s Four Sundays in February. If you missed it then, or want to see how it’s evolved in the intervening months, don’t miss this production. We sit down with actors Sam Rush and Phil Kilbourne, plus director Tom McCabe, to find out just how you can cram so much theater into two hours.

Planning on catching a movie this weekend? We sit down with our pal and Hollywood correspondent Luke Bittel to discuss summer blockbusters: not just which ones are coming up, but the process behind making them, why so many movies suck these days, and why the industry is in trouble. We also talk about the Hollywood/Northampton connection, and its most recent result (this podcast was recorded BEFORE Mel’s most recent meltdowns, otherwise I’m sure we would have had a lot more to say about that).
Warning: this podcast contains spoilers. Rated R for language.
