About this listen

This week on TAB, Dan and Patrick are learning about the difference between what they do (hack work) and what our boy Stan the Man was trying to implement with his first workshop of actors back in Moscow with the System.

We're more than halfway through the first act of The Method: How the Twentieth Century Learned to Act by Isaac Butler. We promise, dear listener, those books we were supposed to have read in acting school are coming. But first, we must get down with THE STANISLAVSKI SICKNESS (cue Disturbed throat noises).
