Annnnnnnnnd WE'RE BACK! And what a triumphant return it is! In this ogre-sized episode, your favorite former-puppeteers-turned-podcast-hosts dive headlong into the swampy world of Shrek the Musical—because nothing says "puppetry" like a talking gingerbread man and a 25-foot-long fire-breathing dragon.
This week, the lads welcome not one but two fairy-tale royalty guests Jack O'Connell the director of Shrek the Musical at the Elkhorn Community Theatre and the show’s puppet designer and builder (aka the wizard behind the curtain) our very own K. WILLIAM SMITH. Together, they spill the glitter—and the hot glue—on bringing beloved animated characters to life on stage, the challenge of making a dragon fly without setting fire to the rigging, and why your local barber is probably your best and most valuable resource.
Expect backstage stories, unexpected mishaps, and insights into how Theatre magic is stitched, sculpted, and zip-tied into place. It’s a tale as old as time... if time wore felt and was operated with rods.
Grab your gumdrop buttons and tune in—because in this episode, Shrek gets real.
