This season on my podcast, Baring It All with Call Me Adam, I am spotlighting My Entertainment Idols.

Today I am speaking with Jason ‘Bea’ Schmidt, one of my favorite & arguably the world’s premier Bea Arthur impersonator.

Jason is heading off to Provincetown this summer to present his new show Bea Arthur’s Brat Summer: A Drag Pop Broadway Fantasia.

In this NEW interview, Jason is Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:

  • How Chappel Roan influenced the creation of Bea Arthur’s Brat Summer
  • Why audiences will love this new show
  • How he hopes to win a Tony Award
  • What he wishes he knew as an entrepreneur
  • How he stays focused on the task at hand
  • So much more

In Bea Arthur’s Brat Summer, a Tony-Award Wanting star takes on the brattiest pop singers of today and the classics of Broadway.

Bea Arthur is having the brattiest summer since … last summer. Inspired by the music of Charli XCX, Kander and Ebb, Chappel Roan, Jerry Herman and so many more - Jason B. Schmidt, arguably the world’s premiere Bea Arthur impersonator brings you the Pop-Broadway-Mashup-Adventure, nobody asked for, but everybody will be talking about for the next 100 years, or seconds. 

Featuring live-singing, stand-up comedy and a teensy bit of historical fiction, this show tastes like cigarettes, vodka and… BeatriXCX.

Bea Arthur’s Brat Summer will play The Arthouse in Provincetown, MA from May 26, 2025-September 9, 2025 at 7pm EST (on Mondays/Tuesdays).

Previously, Jason starred in Dog Opera by Constance Congdon, which he also co-produced at the Little Times Square Theatre opposite his performing and producing partner Darlene Rae Heller.
