NOTES: "Originally recorded on iPhone, converted to MP3 and tracked. This was an amazing, well-directed, yet small production of Next to Normal by Three Act Theatre company that hires actors from three "generations" of career for their shows: teens who are pre-professional, actors who are just starting in their careers, and long-established (sometimes Broadway) actors. Most interestingly, all of the swear/curse words were changed to be PG-rated - at times, strange, but for the most part, it worked well. Includes speeches before and after the show."
