  • Annie 2 ep!

    I really enjoyed the content of the episode about Miss Hannigan’s Revenge. I’m a huge Annie Fan! But one of the girls who hosts this podcast has a habit of shouting the beginnings of her sentences and speaking in an uncomfortably nasally way that really hurts my ears and makes the levels of the episodes almost unbearable.

  • I love this podcast!

    I love this podcast! Pamela and Ebony are strong, smart, hard-working, hilarious, well-researched, very qualified and fiercely fun hosts. I have listened to all of the episodes so far and will continue to listen; I am a subscriber! I also love their personal stories interwoven throughout the well-told, detailed stories about what happened with all of these shows that flopped on Broadway. Their intro is very charming as well. And so clever to have intermission episodes!

  • Delightful!

    This is an amusing podcast with retro gossip and up-to-date tips. Ebony and Pamela have done their research and plumbed their connections. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves theater/theater business or just an entertaining banter on a curious niche of our world these days.

Episode 120: New Works: Hook and Eye Theater's "Plan C"
Q: What is the audience experience like in a Hook and Eye show?
They emphasize the non-linear, text-and-music-driven storytelling with a focus on audience intellect and curiosity; there is no intermission in Plan C, designed to keep audiences engaged and thinking, with a payoff that reveals itself as the narrative unfolds.
Episode 120: New Works: Hook and Eye Theater's "Plan C"
Q: How does Plan C integrate historical research with contemporary themes?
The team describes drawing from Alexandrine von Taxis as a historical touchpoint to explore modern-day reproductive rights, using archives and research to frame a 'black chamber' concept that translates into present-day advocacy and a provocative dialogue about government and gender politics.
Episode 120: New Works: Hook and Eye Theater's "Plan C"
Q: Tell us about the origins of Hook and Eye Theater and how Plan C came to be.
