    Michael J. Bobbitt / Once on This Island - Original Cast Recording (1990) Aug 17, 2016
    Show notes

    Michael J. Bobbitt, artistic director of Adventure Theatre MTC, stops by ostensibly to discuss the 1990 Flaherty & Ahrens musical ONCE ON THIS ISLAND but he and Patrick quickly diverge into discussions of stripped-down theatre, racial appropriation, and what constitutes "children's theatre." It gets real. Get into it.
