The Cleveland Stage Podcast 0206: #AmericanPlaysBracket, Round 2

Tyler and Ian invite Celeste, Ensemble Executive Artistic Director, to discuss the 2nd Round of their #AmericanPlaysBracket Challenge in celebration of #MarchMadness. The plays are now down to 32 and the random seeding has brought about some unfortunate matchups. They discuss the great plays, plays that didn't make it out of Round One, and everyone's hate for "August: Osage County."

The Cleveland Stage Podcast 0205 #AmericanPlaysBracket, Part II

Tyler and Ian continue their walk into the rabbit hole of the #AmericanPlaysBracket wherein they put forth 64 American classics (and some not so much - sorry, Tyler) for folks to vote on as their favorite play. The final 32 of 64 are introduced here in probably the most diverse section of the bracket lending to some of the toughest decisions. Becca Jean returns to the podcast to provide some intelligence to the conversation, and the group decide that maybe the "random seed generator" thing Tyler used for the seeding/pairing is demonic and is the first step to us living in a "Terminator" world.
