LMezz Interviews Geoff Sobelle

Sara interviews Geoff Sobelle straight off the run of his solo show The Object Lesson at New York Theatre Workshop. The Object Lesson is a performance-installation about the objects we keep and the significance of objects in our lives. The audience is surrounded by storage boxes, which we are encouraged to rummage through. Sobelle combines storytelling, illusion, and movement to recover our most meaningful memories through all our stuff.

sobelle_geoff_object_lesson_2015-16_04_ppGeoff is the choreographer and a performer in Holoscenes, a free public art installation in Times Square June 1-3 from 6-11pm as part of the World Science Festival. His next show, Home, will be performed in New York in Fall 2017.

Podcast on ‘Living on Love’ and ‘It Shoulda Been You!’

Norma and Sara discuss the shortcomings of It Shoulda Been You and how Living on Love excels by not falling into the same traps. This podcast was recorded before the today’s announcement that Living on Love would close, so there is no mention of it, but we are obviously sad to see it go!

Discussion of Living On Love starts around minute 25:15

Our First Podcast!

Norma and Sara celebrated the holiday weekend by recording our first ever podcast for Letters from the Mezzanine! It’s live. It’s crazy. And it’s our voices! So check it out!

The format we’ve decided to go with is a post-show discussion between friends, mucking around in the themes and excitement of the productions we’ve seen that week and making connections between the show and our lives, pop culture, other productions, and other media (tv, books, film, etc.)

In this episode, we talk about Brooklynite the Musical and The Heidi Chronicles, with an emphasis on feminism (hell, yeah):

We reference the websites for both Brooklynite and The Heidi Chronicles, as well as the NYT obituary for Wendy Wasserstein.

For more thoughts on The Heidi Chronicles, read our review!
