Taking Big Swings, with Alan Harrison and His New Book, Scene Change

November 30, 2023 by Katie Birenboim 3 Comments

This week marks a very special episode of the podcast, not only because it focuses on a forthcoming book (like the episode on Shy with Jesse Green and that on Broadway Bodies with Ryan Donovan), but also because I got connected with the guest (the author of said book) through Arts Journal! So if you're an avid reader of the Arts Journal blogs, you might already be familiar … [Read more...] about Taking Big Swings, with Alan Harrison and His New Book, Scene Change

“Will the Sun Come Out Tomorrow?” with Julia Nicole Hunter

November 16, 2023 by Katie Birenboim Leave a Comment

This week on the podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with one of the stars of Annie as she travels North America on Tour! It was a great interview for me because I of course worked on the tour, and got to check in with one of my besties and see how the show, company, and morale were doing, but also because Julia, as you'll see and hear in the episode, plays one of … [Read more...] about “Will the Sun Come Out Tomorrow?” with Julia Nicole Hunter

Jesse Green on His Book, Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers

October 26, 2023 by Katie Birenboim 1 Comment

I was so thrilled to be able to bring Jesse Green, Chief Theatre Critic for The New York Times, on the podcast this week to discuss his book Shy: the Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers. I had Jesse on the previous iteration of the show (when it was called "Theatre Book Club" and done through Berkshire Theatre Group) to discuss his own career, the nature of theatre … [Read more...] about Jesse Green on His Book, Shy: The Alarmingly Outspoken Memoirs of Mary Rodgers

Narrative, Choreography, and “Finishing the Hat,” With Patti Wilcox

October 19, 2023 by Katie Birenboim Leave a Comment

I had the pleasure of returning to the podcast in a pre-recorded segment I filmed with NAACP and Fred Astaire award winning Broadway choreographer, Patti Wilcox. The episode was taped in advance because, for only the second instance in Call Time history, we did the show live and in-person, as Patti and I were staying catty-corner (or perhaps "citty-corner," as we explore at … [Read more...] about Narrative, Choreography, and “Finishing the Hat,” With Patti Wilcox

The Relationship Between Theatre and Film, with Paul Felten

August 24, 2023 by Katie Birenboim Leave a Comment

This week on the podcast, I was so excited to dip my toe into the world of film with my guest, screenwriter and director (Francophrenia (Or: Don't Kill Me, I Know Where the Baby Is), Burn Country, and Slow Machine), Paul Felten. As I say at the top of the episode, the podcast has its origins with "Theatre Book Club" (at Berkshire Theatre Group), and I obviously come from a … [Read more...] about The Relationship Between Theatre and Film, with Paul Felten

About Call Time

I have adored musical theatre since my grandparents took me to a regional production of Peter Pan at the wee age of three: I loved it so much, I cried at intermission, thinking the experience was over. Ever since then, I’ve been trying to ensure that the “show [would] go on,” for lack of a better … [more] about About Call Time
