0:00.0	Hey, theater people, Patrick here. We've been telling you all week that we have a big announcement
0:04.5	coming your way, and here it is. We are so excited to announce the launch of the Theater People
0:09.8	Summer Series. The summer series will be a series of intimate live shows bringing artists and fans
0:14.6	together in a unique way. In addition to our regular podcast episodes, we're doing one live show
0:19.3	each month from May to August. Each show will feature
0:22.1	one or more big Broadway stars who will chat with me and then perform a song or two with our live
0:27.0	accompanies and then take your questions live. Time permitting, they'll stick around after the show
0:31.5	to sign your CDs and tell you how gorgeous you are. We're describing the shows as one part live show,
0:36.1	one part concert, and one-part
0:37.5	hangout session. Different, right? The series kicks off Sunday, May 8th, with the Queen
0:41.8	herself, Leslie Margarita, Olivier Award winner and star of the Broadway productions of
0:45.9	Matilda and Dames at Sea. The June show is happening June 12th and will star the incredible
0:49.9	Lindsay Mendez of Wicked, Godspell, Dogfight, and my personal favorite, everyday rapture.
0:55.4	The July show is happening July 10th and features Tony nominee and one of our all-time favorite
0:59.7	people, Laura Osniss. We're still working on our August show and we will let you know as soon as
1:04.2	that guest is booked. The best part, you guys, is the ticket price. Just $10 and no food or drink
1:09.4	minimum. We're not trying to make a profit here.
1:11.5	We just want to get you in a room with your favorite Broadway star. The shows will take place at
1:15.1	Pearl Studios, and since we're intentionally keeping these events small and intimate, tickets are
1:19.2	extremely limited. Also, we're not recording these shows for broadcast, so if you want to experience
1:23.7	the summer series, you'll need to be in the room where it happens. All of the information and links to buy tickets are up on our website. www.com. That's theater with an ERPPL.com. Oh,
1:36.4	and if you purchased a general admission or VIP ticket to our next live show through our Kickstarter
