On this episode of the Yay, Norman is back after directing Dracula and performing in As You Like It. We welcome actor and playwright Paul Harkness. Paul’s play, On Hallowed Ground, was featured in a staged reading two days ago at the Play Café. Paul talks about growing up in the Bay Area, working as an actor in the 70's and his current writings. You can contact Paul directly via Facebook.

The Phoenix Theatre has been in existence for 34 years. I remember working at the Phoenix when it was still on Geary Street, for numerous companies like BayStage, the Guerilla Shakespeare Company and Off-Broadway West. Linda Ayers-Frederick (Episode 31) has always been a wonderful owner who has always given a home to theatre companies to produce wonderful shows. The Phoneix needs your help. Gentrification affects businesses too, not just renters – and The Phoenix needs your financial support to stay afloat. Click on this link and please help support the Phoneix and community theatre.
