014: Rebecca Bernstein – ZOOM SHAKESPEARE



This episode, Tim talks to actor Rebecca Bernstein about her creation Zoom Shakespeare. Born out of the 2020 COVID lockdown, Rebecca made ZSP into a dynamic online performance space which has produced the entire Shakespeare canon within two years! Since then she has carried the company into other public domain works and radio drama featuring cast members from not only Houston, but also the UK, Canada, Russia, and elsewhere. Rebecca also talks about her spooky Strange Bird Immersive character and her challenging upcoming role in David Harrower’s Blackbird*. Other subjects include Idina Menzel (sort of), pre-school performance, evolving equity, dumpster diving, cheese, gender-flipped casts, and Sherlock Holmes.

* FYI – Blackbird has added performances since recording this episode, scroll down for a link to tickets!

Ep. 1 – Amy & Jared Barnes from Haven Arts Theatre



In the premiere episode of Strutting and Fretting, we talk to Amy and Jared Barnes, the creators of Haven Arts Theatre. We discuss their dreams for this new venue, which looks to collaborate with a multitude of artists, dancers, singers, actors, playwrights, and directors from Houston. They elaborate on their first original production: “Come Alive,” their Kickstarter page, and their experiences as actors and choreographers.

Just for fun, we also discuss a few unrelated subjects – including artificial intelligence, the “Great American Novel,” and other tangents. Finally, Jared and Amy round out the hour with an askew performance from Much Ado About Nothing.
