the voice that launched a thousand ships...

I did a podcast for nytheatre.com with a bunch of truly fun artists. Check it out.

If you are pressed for time and want to only hear the sultry sounds of Shoshona Currier expounding thoughts on war and theater, I start chattering at minute 17. But I suggest listening to the whole thing. It's pretty fun.

Especially fun, was seeing my friend Jack Ferver, who I haven't seen or spoken to in...hm...four years? I seem to remember running into him in a yoga class a while back, but we haven't made anything together in ages.

What? You don't know Jack Ferver? Oh I think you do! Maybe from this:



Or this:



But really, these don't do justice to Jack's talent. I first saw Jack in a reading at New York Theatre Workshop and was drawn to his impeccable timing and snarky wit. Soonafter, we met through our friend Glynis and in person I was drawn to his impeccable timing and snarky wit. As well as the slightly crazy look in his eye. We did some little reading-ish projects with the now defunct Black Cat Group and then sort of fell out of each other's lives, which is how it goes in New York City.

It was so great to see him, and ride the train with him, and laugh with him again. So please listen to his part of the podcast as well (he's first!) and maybe even go see his show called When We Were Young and Filled With Fear. I'm going to.

Also, my friend Ed is on this podcast too. He's second, chatting about his play Nosferatu and I suggest you also go see that. Ed's a strange fun guy who makes strange fun plays.

Actually, you should see all the shows we talk about in this podcast! It was a really fun roup of artists all slogging away in various festivals around the city. Getting together to chat about theater felt like a friendly little showing of community...I'm glad I was there.
