Welcome to Woo Woo With Rachel Dratch, the podcast that explores the unexplained with humor and curiosity.

Hello, and welcome to Woo Woo with Rachel Dratch here with my pal and co-host Irene Bremis.

Hi, Irene.

Hi, sweetie.

Well, Irene, today we have two guests, which is unusual.

I think we've only done this once before.

But my friend Jenny Steingard is here. Hi, Jenny. Hi, Rachel.

Hello. So happy to be here. We made it work. We made it work. Now, Jenny is the, well,

co-founder of a theater that's very important in New York, Ars Nova Theater. And if you live in New York, you may have heard of Ars Nova.

It's a place where a lot of shows take off because the Ars Nova, well, I'll let you explain

Ars Nova in a moment.

But anyways, that's how I know Jenny through this theater, Ars Nova, and she's gone on to

produce many things that have gone on to

Broadway and a few shows running right now, and we'll get to that in a bit. And we're also joined

by Heather Christian, who is a composer and librettist, and whose recent work, Oratorio for Living

Things, played here in New York before it is now about to

relaunch. So I'm excited because I didn't get to see it last time and I'm excited to see it,

especially now that I'm meeting you. So anyway, we have two artistes here, producers and

artis, Jenny and Heather. And Irene, hello. Hello. Hi, ladies. How are you? So, so awesome to be here.

So Jenny, I forget how this even came about, but I think somehow, how did this come about that you're

gracing us? We have quite a few mutual friends in addition to knowing each other and being friends.

And I guess one of them must have mentioned to you in passing that I have had some woo-woo experiences.
