You’ll hear short 3-5 minute segments musing on the differences between stage acting and audio acting, what the cast hopes people will experience as audio drama listeners, their favorite moments in the Master Builder audio drama and more.

MASTER BUILDER  is a two part audio drama for adults. It contains salty language, adult situations, and quirkiness suitable for grown-up ears.

This production is dedicated to the memory of Julie Rhodes. Julie was a great lover and patron of music, art, and performance in the Triangle area and she loved spreading the word about her favorites.
