| Season One Trailer - In Good Company | 04 Aug 2020 | 00:01:34 | |
The drama onstage is nothing compared to what’s happening behind the scenes in this original episodic series. Bay City Theatre Artistic Director Lola Grant is performing the ultimate balancing act: running a small, LGBTQ theatre during a pandemic, keeping her family together, and producing a new play- that’s still missing an ending. A new kind of podcast for a different kind of world, New Conservatory Theatre Center’s In Good Company is a love letter to the resilience of art, artists, and the places they call “home”.
