This episode we’re joined by Beth Berry, artistic director and playwright for GEAR Productions! GEAR stands for Give Everyone a Role, and is an organization that strives to provide positive performance experiences for students of all interests and abilities. Beth talks about her roots in theater, fills us in on the history of GEAR in this their 25th year, and lets us in on the secret to making Chocolate Biskvi, a 3-layer Swedish Cookie! The Coconotes join with Sophia Pearson to give us their take on a few songs from past GEAR shows, and we feature a guest appearance by Paul Colombino singing his song Finding Home from the show Knowing Home. We also hear about GEAR’s upcoming all-abilities show Space Daze happening this November 22nd and 23rd. Check out GEAR’s website at gearproductions.org for more information!
