Show Notes

When I get to talk with someone like Jack Canfora, whom I've never met before, never known of before (sorry Jack), and come away from it feeling exhilarated, uplifted and anticipating this is (hopefully) just the first of many conversations, that is truly a special thing.  From my perspective Jack and I "hit it off".  Two theatre guys celebrating what the theatre does best.  Exploring the mysteries of life,  and the human condition through literature and storytelling.  In short . . . it was a joy and personally, one of my favorite interviews to date.  After listening to it, I hope it will be one of your as well.
