In our last episode of our season, Steve chats with Mic Matarrese, an actor and professor for the REP and Department of Theatre and dance here at the University. Mic talks through his theatrical journey and how he made it to the REP. They dive into Mic's top favorite projects, focusing on the REP productions, and his creative process throughout his projects, rehearsals, and other art forms. He gives insight on his own rehearsal mindset and process. Steve then asks about the personal aspects of Mic, such as his array of accents and his experience with being a professional Game Master for Dungeons & Dragons. 

Steve is joined by University of Delaware professor, Leslie Reidel. Their conversation starts off with Leslie diving into his life in Brooklyn, New York and moving to Pennsylvania. He talks about where the arts entered his life and how in continued throughout his life. When he left college, he bumped into a friend on the street that suggested he studied theatre which turned into a Master's degree at Temple University. That meeting led him into teaching and directing throughout the city of Philadelphia. Then, sometime down the line, he met REP founder, Sandy Robbins, and came to Newark, Delaware. Leslie and Steve discusses the importance of art in life and academics, and the significance of theatre throughout time. Leslie portrays his expertise in this riveting episode.

In this special episode, Steve sits down with the seven UD students who are performing in our production of Medea. Each student introduces themselves, including their major and their theatre experiences. This group of ladies is very diverse, ranging from no experience to years of experience, from science majors to fashion majors, from freshman to seniors (and one senior citizen). Steve asks each of them what they have learned from this experience, how their rehearsal process was, and what moments have stuck with them the most. They chat about the different arts that they are involved in, during school and outside of school.
