Welcome back to another episode of The Premiere Podcast! On this episode we are joined by Clay Ackerman, Musical Director for 9 to 5. Casey and Clay talk music. All sorts of music. It kind of goes in every direction, it's obvious that there is a love for music all around on this one. Before we get Clay, Casey and Oliver discuss tech week briefly as 9 to 5 gets set to premiere! Most of this episode is just making fun of the obnoxious program bios that Casey has written during his time with TPP. 9 to 5 opens June 12th and runs through June 22 at the Historic Orpheum Theatre in Downtown Sioux Falls.Thurs-Sat Shows 7pm

Welcome to episode 5! Our biggest episode yet! 
 
On this episode we announce The Premiere Playhouse's Season 23 shows! Unfortunately, since Casey is the host, he makes it one big joke. 
Oliver takes time to share all the buzz and excitement within TPP and fills you in on what to expect for this upcoming season and beyond. Case is then joined by the co-directors of 9 to 5, Brittney Lewis and Abby Schwedhelm. They share their journey through the rehearsal process and what to expect when 9 to 5 premieres this June.

TPP Ep 4. Mo Hurley

It's another episode of The Premiere Podcast! And this episode is one for the history books! It's our LONGEST episode yet; however, you can tell that there is so much fun being had in this episode that you'll wish it was longer!
 
Oliver Mayes, side kick and co-host extraordinaire, joins Casey to share exciting things happening in the community. We tease BIGLY announcements coming for The Premiere Playhouse (sorry no season 23 news yet, but maybe some clues!). Casey is quizzed again on his knowledge of musical theatre; it does not go great. Casey turns the tables on Oliver and tests his knowledge on Sports. What does this have to do with Theatre? Nothing, it's just fun.
 
Our second portion of the show, Casey interviews, Mo Hurley. Actor, Writer, Director, Author, Clown#2 and an Award Winner shares stories of TPP, Casey's Santa Thong Picture, directing the chair bit (yep, brought up again). But most importantly we discuss Mo's direction of Educating Rita, opening April 24 - 27 at the University of Sioux Falls Educating Rita - The Premiere Playhouse (Tickets here).
 
There is so much zaniness and laughter in this episode you'll be begging for us to bring Mo back soon!
