This week we have excerpts from the Live Bait that was recorded in February of this year, including the song of the month written and performed by Jerry Gregoire, and stories by Phil Goldman and Julie Beck. If you are in the Rhode Island area and can come by, we hope to see you in person at a Live Bait performance, normally held on the first friday of every month. If you aren’t close enough to join us, we hope this, and upcoming excerpts from the performances whet your appetite for storytelling.

Today, we have an interview with Phil Goldman, the creator and curator of Perishable Theatre’s Live Bait program. Live Bait, regularly held on the first Friday of each month at 10 pm, is a place for people to share stories with each other. Extremely popular, Live Bait has become an oft sold-out show that strips the notion of theatre down to the origins of all drama: people gathered to tell stories in an attempt to make sense of their lives and the world around them.
