We're Marc & Laura and we need an audience. Too bad for us, we're from Steinbach, Manitoba... where almost nobody lives.
So, we're taking a big swing. Season 1 of this podcast is called: "Chicago". And you'll hear all about how we've decided to throw our caps over the wall and take on the Windy City, in the blind hope that theatre towns actually do still exist.
This week on the pod, Laura clears the air about Marc's eating habits. Followed by in-depth discussions about icons, process, and the unfortunate downfall of Vaudville.
HEY CHICAGO! We're coming to you in May, 2027 with a double-header! Check it out here: https://simpli.events/e/summation-couched
