With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we\'ve seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 122nd episode we bring you a duet review of Prodigal, written and directed by Paolo Santalucia and presented in its world premiere by the Howland Company in association with Crow\\u2019s Theatre. Join Jillian Robinson and Ryan Borochovitz, as they unpack Prodigal\\u2019s playful performances, discuss the cohesive body of directorial decisions, and crack open the kaleidoscopic chaos of its technical craft.
