In a new segment on the podcast, Kerrie and her best friend/de facto producer Olivia launch The Wheelie Stagey Forum. The idea is that each forum will discuss a particular theatre-related topic, with Kerrie & Liv, or with some of our other pals. We kick things off with an episode recorded just shy of my birthday back in August on Understudies, Swings & Alternates.
