The Broadwaysted Podcast Welcomes CHURCH & STATE and Broadway Bound Kids

Did you pray for another Broadwaysted episode this week? Did I just "state" the obvious? Well, your prayers are answered: we're pouring "Another Round" with CHURCH & STATE's star Rob Nagle and Playwright Jason Odell Williams!

We're drinking cider and chatting about the hilarious new play CHURCH & STATE playing now at New World Stages and their road from the West Coast to Off-Broadway. We reflect on the career of M. Night Shyamalan, talk about why we love real Southern women, and Game Master Kimberly introduces a new game, "Lights of Broadway Show Cards Debate." We also discover that Jason has a killer British accent and yes, we even get a little real when discussing the core issues of CHURCH & STATE. We had a blast having "Another Round" with Jason and Rob, so y'all should grab tickets to see CHURCH & STATE at New World Stages!

BONUS: After the episode is Part Two of our libations and laughs with Broadway Bound Kids Founder Erin Glass, Executive Director Jessica Diaz, and actor Karl Kenzler (FIDDLER ON THE ROOF). The Broadwaysted Crew are competing against each other to raise more money for the 2nd Annual Broadway Bee (Kevin's for Bhavesh Patel, Kimberly's for Karl Kenzler, and Bryan's for Evan Todd) so check out www.crowdrise.com/The2ndAnnualBroadwayBee and click on the actor to find Kevin, Kimberly, and Bryan's teams and support us and a great cause! #TeamBryan #TeamKevin #TeamKimberly
