It’s almost springtime and that means birds are chirping, bunnies are running around and Artistic Directors are scouring the landscape looking for talent for their upcoming seasons of shows! What exactly does that process look like? How do they choose who to make an offer to? Where do they even go to audition them? Well lucky for us Joel Mercier, Artistic Director for the North Country Center for the Arts, drops in to explain all of that as well as discuss their upcoming season which will feature The Secret Garden, CATS, Little Shop of Horrors and Stephen King’s Misery!

Joel Mercier, Producing Artistic Director @ Jean's Playhouse in Lincoln, NH chats us up about opening up post "you know what" and fills us in on the new season. This seasons production list was chosen with specific parameters in order to stay within the guidelines of the state.

Joel is also on a board that offers guidance to the state government concerning theater attendance and gives us some insight about how that works.

Jean's is also collaborating with The Powerhouse Theatre Collaborative to produce the Colonial Theatre's Christmas show.
