LOCAL Podcast: Jeff Knapp: Come In and Make the Noises!

February Local Episode: Jeff Knapp—Come In and Make the Noises

 

Local is back! And to kick off the new year, Laura sits down with Dreamcatcher Rep’s resident Sound Designer Jeff Knapp. In this fascinating and intimate interview, Jeff talks his college radio DJ days, being a theater student at a school without a theater, and his infamous appearance in The Sound of Music as “Captain Von Knapp.” He goes on to talk being a theatre sound designer in the pandemic — from his foley work in Ways to Be Happy, to recording in-studio for the upcoming cabaret Kindred Spirits livestreaming this Thursday, February 11th, at 7:30PM. Valentine's Day Cabaret: Kindred Spirits February 11, 2021 Livestream 7:30 PM Available for viewing through February 16.    Grab a glass of wine and some chocolate, and cuddle up with your honey, your family or your fur baby! Eight singers share songs about love, from gems like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "Come Rain or Come Shine" to songs from the modern musical theatre like "Still Hurting" from The Last Five Years and "Love is an Open Door" from Frozen. We've created music videos from footage shot by the singers that tell the stories of the songs. Together, they illustrate the fun, pain, silliness and warmth of love in all its forms. The premiere performance, on February 11, will be followed by a live talkback with the singers. The recorded show will be available through February 16 for those who can't make the debut! Just register for the performance and let us know you need the link. Happy Valentine's Day from your friends at Dreamcatcher!  Cost per household: $20
