The Shakespearean ShrewOSP Summer Camp: Making School CoolIn this episode we will be talking to Alleese Eldridge and Paxton Kliewer about the challenges and rewards of teaching OSP’s summer camp, what theater does for us as actors and audience, the importance of play, and how yo-yos are the ultimate Brooklyn ice-breaker.

So get your tickets to Love’s Labour’s Lost and Grœnland. This is your last chance to get their autographs and say you kne...2025-07-301h 02

For this episode we are going to talk size - no, not that kind of size - though there will be some talk of “eggplant emojis” in this episode.

Join us as we talk with Jimmy Pike, Denton Meehan, and Lucas Schrantz who are well-versed in playing many parts (sometimes within one play or even a single scene!).
