Today's guest is Micah-Shane Brewer, assistant professor of musical theatre and director of our spring-season production of Urinetown: The Musical, which will be available for streaming April 9-11. Micah-Shane discusses the enduring relevance of this show, as well as the ins and outs of directing a large-scale musical during a time when safety prevents a large cast from sharing the stage.
