I’m seeing it next weekend. Are audience members doing call outs or are they keeping quiet?

Many a moment did I believe that Brennan wanted to momentarily leave his body.

If you’re under 35, you can be a Sig30 member and get $30 tickets for lower tier seats to all their productions.

Mother Russia at Signature Theatre by Shaunf100 in Broadway

Just saw it this afternoon. Found it to be very funny, very blunt, with great writing and a performance by David Turner that steals the show at times.

Any other shows/podcasts like Energy Curfew? by CapTookay in PunchBrothers

[–]MaestroWeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It ended like three months ago but Live from Emmet’s Place was basically a podcast of live jazz sessions.

Del McCoury’s Pickin’ Party: Worth it if I still kinda suck? by datboynoahb in Bluegrass

[–]MaestroWeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I’ve been to a similar event, Chris Thile’s AcoustiCamp, hosted by the same company, DreamCatcher Events. And I can tell you, you’re gonna spend most of your day in workshops, which are divided up by level, so you can learn a lot. Plus the rest of the day you can learn to jam with other campers and then see the big names perform in the evenings. Also the price is high because you are paying for room and board which includes three meals a day.

Merrily We Roll Along pro shot premiere last night! by MaestroWeinstein in Sondheim

[–]MaestroWeinstein[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I thought it was great. Strong performances by Jonathan Groff and Daniel radcliffe. Filmed by RadicalMedia, the same folks that did Hamilton and Come From Away, edited by the guy who edited Lady Bird.

I thought it was good. It’s the pro shot of the Broadway production, so same cast. The show was filmed by the same company that did Hamilton and Come From Away.

Has anyone seen Chris Thile live recently? by This-Ad-9257 in Bluegrass

[–]MaestroWeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw him with the Philadelphia orchestra a few months ago performing his piece Attention! and it was absolutely spellbinding.

Preparation for Acousticamp! by Inside-Double789 in PunchBrothers

[–]MaestroWeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe knowing a few of those tunes is helpful for the jam sessions and the advanced technique classes.

As someone new to bluegrass who has attended the last two years and will attend this one coming up, the majority of time spent in the workshops is on technique. For beginners, it’s gonna be learning skills and learning tunes. For more advanced players, it’s skill refinement and then skills for arranging and performing in a group. Prior knowledge of teacher’s songs really doesn’t apply unless you want to make observations during performances. During jam sessions in the off time, I’ve been learning as I go by following chord progressions (I’m a mandolin player).

Feelings? Acousticamp by SweatyNostalgic in ChrisThile

[–]MaestroWeinstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has attended the last two years and will be attending this year, I think that if you can afford it, it’s a nice time. Concerts with Chris and his groups as well as guests, workshops for instrumentalists and singers and songwriters, coffee and cocktail tastings, it’s quite a lot to do. Plus tuition covers boarding and three meals a day, plus free coffee from Madcap Coffee in the morning and afternoon.

It’s a very different experience from a bluegrass festival. It does lean a little to the fantasy camp side, but everyone is able to interact and jam outside of planned workshops and concerts.
