Grades are in!!!!! Spring Semester is over!!!
Many thanks and a fond farewell to all my Theater History II students at Temple University.
I especially appreciated all the fun outfits everyone wore on the day of the Final Exam.
PSA: If you share a YouTube video using the native share feature it now attaches your user ID (?si=xxxxxx) to the URL automatically.
YT likely does this to growth-hack DMs. When someone clicks on the link, YT can start a DM thread between you two automatically with this ID even if they found the link outside of the YT app.
If you post links publicly, I strongly recommend deleting the ID unless you want to post your user profile.
A superb piece by a longtime Friend of the Podcast - Mary B. Robinson!!!
Read how the "anti-Communist" investigations of the mid-20th century affected the theater industry, and how it was instrumental in leading to the founding of the SDC (the Stage Directors & Choreographers Society).
Our thanks to Mary for this article, and we applaud all her ongoing work as a theater historian!

"The chemistry between the entire ensemble . . . . You truly believe these people have decades of shared history, secrets, and resentments."
