  • DSLP #207 - Weekend at Mincemeat
    Apr 29 2026
    We're back! After a brief hiatus, Karen is joined by one of her students (Hi, Julia!) to talk her recent travels to NYC. We combine Karen's two favorite things: history and theatre. She takes us on a deep dive of the across the pond transfer, Operation Mincemeat. Based on a true story from WWII, this hilarious, yet poignant, musical does the impossible with 5 actors playing over 83 roles! @downstageleftpc
