Minutes to Curtain
Named "Best New Theatre Company" by Westword Magazine in Denver, Colorado, Miscreant Theatre Collective presents: Minutes to Curtain. The podcast aims to discuss stage plays ranging from established classics to new works in an intelligent, humorous, and engaging way.
Episodes
The boys discuss the relative value of poisoning your husband, and the ramifications of being a Sicilian woman in 1600's Rome.
Things get hairy, and quite meaty, as the boys answer a surprisingly timely question while discussing (Exit, Pursued by a Bear), by Lauren Gunderson.
The boys (and another lady!) tiptoe around some serious issues and stumble over song lyrics while discussing a One-Woman Show (with three leading ladies) that takes a dark turn, in FUKT, By Emma Goldman-Sherman
Featuring guest host Veronica Straight-Lingo. The boys (AND A LADY!) grapple with familial trauma, mental health, small towns, and fire pokers in The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by Martin McDonagh.
The Boys are BACK and discussing Daniel Prillaman's For a Limited Time Only. The play about life, relationships, and a never-ending supply of bread. Welcome to MTC Season TWO!
Hidden secrets abound as the boys futz around and find out about the Buried Child in this bonus episode about...Buried Child, by Sam Shepard
Season Two of Minutes to Curtain premieres March 1st, 2024!
From the MTC Archives. The Boys discuss Tigers be Still, by Kim Rosenstock. Sometimes Tigers don't be still, but sometimes they do. And this is one of those times.
Season Two of Minutes to Curtain will premiere in March, 2024!
Theresa Rebeck's "The Scene" explores the vanity and vapid, rapid pace of life in the New York/Hollywood socialite sphere. Backstabbing and double-entendre are the name of the game in this snappy, back-and-forth comic drama. Also the boys continue to act weird for no goddamn reason. Deal with it!
WARNING: This play involves dubious (at best) consent and a graphic climactic scene involving a sexual assault with an inanimate object.
The boys do their best to be sensitive about graphic sexual violence while also pondering the values of selling the innocence of your family for a few hundred dollars. This one is a hell of a ride...
A group of friends and strangers passes the time post-apocalypse trying to remember the specific events of an episode of The Simpsons. Also, we discuss a play with the same premise.
Five Bridesmaids find comfort and camaraderie while doing everything they can to avoid the wedding reception. And then two dudes talk about it for around an hour. This week's play is "Five Women Wearing the Same Dress", by Alan Ball.
The world's second-worst podcasters tackle the story of England's second-best hangman: Hangmen, by Martin McDonagh.
How do you solve a problem like attempted murder? The boys discuss Crimes of the Heart, by Beth Henley. A play about three women who can't get what they want, don't want what they have, and bury their feelings under a mountain of sugar.
Dillon gets way too horny and Andy can't stop applying lotion to his creaky bits. The boys discuss "Rhinoceros", by Eugene Ionesco and try desperately to ignore the elephant...err...pachyderm in the room.
There exists a timeline in which Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein once met each other at a pub in Paris, or, at least that's as likely as anything else that might happen. The boys discuss Picasso at the Lapin Agile, by Steve Martin and reveal an astonishing lack of knowledge about both Art and Physics. Enjoy!
The boys discuss an American classic from Tennessee Williams about high society, repressed sexuality, and of course...mendacity.
The boys discuss the pros and cons of accidentally kidnapping a woman and forcing her to marry you. There are no pros.
Bus Stop, by William Inge, is the story of passengers on a cross-country bus who must spend the night in a diner during a snow storm.
This is a vaguely meta description of a predictably meta podcast which discusses an aggressively meta play. "Stupid F***ing Bird" written by Aaron Posner in 2013, based on Anton Checkov's 1896 play, "The Seagull". The boys use the F-word a lot. It's in the title. We were basically forced to do it.
It becomes clear that the Miscreants recorded this podcast several months in advance. The boys discuss The Long Christmas Ride Home, by Paula Vogel.
The Miscreants discuss the rare horror stage play: The Woman in Black, as adapted by Stephen Mallatratt.
