Listen in as creator Peter Michael Marino & performer Denisse Estefany Mendoza of SHOW UP, KIDS! discuss awful auditions and why they often don\u2019t matter, working out your show over time, building fairy tales from scratch, how to work with new & inexperienced (very young) improvisers, using what\u2019s given to you by the audience, bringing them back into the show, funny chickens and evil farmers and bad penguin driving, and the sensibilities of New York City kids.
\n“You just have to say ‘yes, and,’ even to their ‘nos’…you just have to keep going…even the nos can be really funny!”
\n“It’s always a gift!”
