In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, Alex Miller and Toni Tresca go over the very busy October theatre scene around the state. There are plenty of Halloween shows in the lineup and many other plays and musicals to choose from.

Alex and Toni also take on the topic of empty theatre sites. Are ticket prices too high? Where are the under-40 patrons? How should theatres adjust their marketing efforts to reach a large audience segment that may not have any experience with live theatre?

Finally, Alex interviews comic BK Sharad, who in addition to his own busy life on comedy stages also oversees Don’t Tell Comedy. These popup comedy shows feature top-flight comedians in non-standard locations like gyms, coffee shops and others. They also get into some detail on how BK manages his own jokes and career.
