Episode Notes

TITLE:

Where Theatre Meets Corporate Events | (ft. Jeremy Dobrish | Senior Creative Director, Proscenium)

OPENING QUOTE:

“What playwriting really taught me was structure. And how do you structure a story? There's a great quote. You may have heard this, which is a story is the way to tell it. Right? A story is the way to tell it. There's no such thing as the story. There's the telling of the story. You can tell the story a million different ways, and how you tell the story, that's the story.”
