OFF BOOK: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL PODCAST LIVE! With Special Guest Rachel Bloom
There's a musical scheduled for Nov 18th at 5 PM but the thing is, the actors don't know what roles they're playing and there is no script. There isn't even a title! Enter hosts Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino who - with very special guest Rachel Bloom - will dream up an entirely improvised musical while you watch.
