In an on-the-road Table Read Podcast episode from December 2013, Dennis is joined in Lititz PA by the incomparable Brian Belge, the incomparable David Donovan, and the incomparable Smith Collins, comparatively speaking, for a discussion of actors, acting, improvisation, auditions, personal experiences, and previous events produced and participated in by these guys. Sorry, there was no read this time, and we blame Dave, as is usual when blame is called for, because he had to go home early.

This Table Read Podcast Visitors episode from Chase's painting studio in Portsmouth NH features Chase Bailey, Heidi Bunnell, Duncan Watt, Dennis Johnson, and introducing voice artist, actor and director DB Cooper, now one of us, in her first published podcast. And of course, there's the TRP security presence of Rudy the dog. Not known for our organized structure or our brevity, TRP Visitors goes a few degrees further, as a plethora of guests descending on the podcast turns out to be so much fun that we never get around to a read. Many thanks go to our visitors - Paul Christofferson, Michael Kane, Kit, and Max. They don't make 'em like this any more. Opening music by Phil Fournier.

This is a read-only podcast of the screenplay The Tent, minus the usual 90 minutes of discussion per podcast beforehand. It is a cold read. It is a compilation from three separate podcast sessions in 2013, the first two in a small room and the last session taking place in Chase's larger painting studio, hence the dramatic change in room tone. Three separate casts were used, with Chase Bailey reading the action lines, Dennis Johnson as Corey, and Duncan Watt in a variety of roles, present in all three. Additional readers who joined us in various episodes and played a veritable bouquet of characters were Heidi Bunnell, Dylan Collins, Peter Nickell, and Justin Norton. The Tent is by Richard Leder, based on the book by Gary Paulsen. Thanks to Chase for permission to read it.
