Guest host Kevin Douglas joins to talk ‘Rocky,’ talking ‘Henry’ with Max Shulman plus weekly Top 10 Colorado Headliners
In this episode of the OnStage Colorado Podcast, hosts Alex Miller and Toni Tresca are joined by Kevin Douglas, executive director at Two Cent Lion Theatre Company. Kevin is the perfect guest for our main topic this week: Why The Rocky Horror Show continues to be so popular after 50 years. Two Cent Lion’s production is now up at the People’s Building in Arvada.
Max Shulman
