Welcome to our fifth episode of Tech Tuesday! We're so excited to have composer, musician, film enthusiast, frontman of local band Basic Comfort, and Farmers Alley sound designer Tony Mitchell, as well as Alex Tobin, former Farmers Alley sound designer turned NYC-based audio engineer who worked as an audio systems technician at the 2019 USTA US Open and 2020 Lena Horne Prize.

Join host Carrie Phillips to talk about creating original sound for our 2019 production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime, the most fun they've ever had on the job, and just how much work it takes to design a show or produce an album!
 

The fireworks continue Sunday night at 8pm for a special 4^th of July Weekend episode of BROADWAY BATTLES: AMERICA EDITION. Guests Peter Riopelle and James Sanford (our production of 1776) along with Ryan Vasquez (Broadway’s HAMILTON) will answer some tough questions about both of these historical shows like “What’s the most powerful lyric in HAMILTON?”, as well as pitch their own original American musicals.   We hope you’ll take a break, press pause on Disney+, and join us Sunday at 8pm for another entertaining edition of BROADWAY BATTLES.
