S6:E3 - Slaying Stereotypes and Societal Stagnation with Director Melissa Mowry
In this episode, we chat with performer, theatre maker and director Melissa Mowry. Melissa is at the helm of the reimagined classic tale of Dracula called “Dracula, A Feminist Revenge Fantasy Story, Really?” written by playwright Kate Hamill. This play challenges long-held societal norms about what it means to be a woman, a wife, a lady and a mother. It also harkens current times with the ‘Me Too’ movement and the discussion around choice, coercion and consent. These themes are all highlighted through Hamill’s campy writing and Mowry’s brilliant direction. Be sure to check out the final performances with the Virginia Stage Company at the Wells Theatre in Norfolk, Va through Sunday, November 3.
Listen in as Melissa shares a bit about where she’s from, where she’s been and where she’s going with rest and self-care being at the forefront of it all.

S6:E2 - 'Agency for the Lost...and Found' with Playwright Serena Norr
In this episode, we chat with playwright Serena Norr of "Agency for the Lost." You may remember Serena from when we first spoke to her and the cast of the short play "Vitality and Purpose." We are collaborating again - now our 4th time - on Serena's full-length play "Agency for the Lost" which explores childhood abandonment, how that abandonment plays out in adult relationships, the dark side of corporate culture and ultimately what it means to find and be found. Come join us for our staged reading on the evening of Monday, June 3rd at the Flea Theater in New York City.

S6:E1 - Nine years and one week ago...
As "somindboggling journeys" enters its sixth season, I reflect back on the podcast's first published episode, where I was, who I was with and how it felt taking a big step in the direction of a dream.
