Mo Brady and Nikka Graff Lanzarone's podcast The Ensemblist will explore the theatrical period of "tech" in its latest episode, available for download now.

They chat with Broadway veterans Lori Ann Ferreri, Michael James Scott, and Ephraim M. Sykes about technical rehearsals, the time when a show's creative team sets lighting, sound, scenic, costume, and orchestral cues before it begins performances. Ferreri currently appears in the new revival of On the Town, Scott appears in Aladdin, and Sykes takes on roles in Motown The Musical.

New episodes of The Ensemblist are released every two weeks and can be downloaded on iTunes. Episodes can also be downloaded directly from Podbean here.
