“’It’s been fun and engaging to find ways to develop our play interactively even though we couldn’t meet in person. I am excited that we’ve found a way to bring this play to audiences as an audio play, and it’s been a real experience to learn about podcasts and see how amazing unedited make our performance sound!’”
