  Kathryn Grody's Unexpected 3rd Act

  Oct 2, 202629 min

  It’s in the third act of a three-act story structure when everything comes to a head. The plot builds to its peak, the characters demonstrate development, and the audience/reader/listener experiences the story’s climax—and maybe even a moral. If the third act is the culmination of everything leading up to it, then the third act of Kathryn Grody’s life has been a wild one. The 2-time Obie Award-winning actor, mother, grandmother, and wife of actor Mandy Patinkin, found new recognition in 2020 when her son posted a video of her and Patinkin that earned them a new overnight fan base. From that viral success developed the family’s Don't Listen to Us podcast , a TV pilot, and a one-woman show written and performed by Grody called The Unexpected 3rd —coming to George Street Playhouse October 13 through November 1st, 2026.

  Axelrod Arts Honors the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 with 'Come From Away'

  Aug 27, 202626 min

  Today Gina is speaking with Broadway stars Joy Hermalyn and Brian O’Brien who will be starring together in the upcoming production of Come From Away at Axelrod Arts. The two have previously performed together in a production of Terrance McNally’s The Visit years ago. Today's interview became a mini reunion of sorts. “Come From Away” tells the true story of seven thousand airline passengers from all over the world who were grounded in the small Canadian town of Gander in the wake of 9/11. As told by a cast of only twelve actors, the musical is an emotional and uplifting look at recent history. While Joy and Brian hadn’t yet begun rehearsal for this particular production at the time of our interview, they are veteran performers of the show having performed the musical before in various roles. Therefore, their discussion focuses on the impact this show has had and continues to have on all those it touches. Thanks for listening!

  Ritz Theatre Company's Production of 'La Gringa' Broaches Life On the Periphery of a Culture

  Aug 20, 202631 min

  Today’s episode hits extra close to home for host Gina Marie Rodriguez. As a member of the Puerto Rican diaspora who often feels neither here nor there, she says she is honored to get the chance to speak with the director and cast of the Ritz Theatre’s production of “La Gringa.” La Gringa, written by Carmen Rivera, is the story of a young woman’s search for her identity. Mari­a Elena Garcia goes to visit her family in Puerto Rico during the Christmas holidays and arrives with plans to connect with her homeland. Although this is her first trip to Puerto Rico, she has had an intense love for the island, and even majored in Puerto Rican Studies in college. Once Maria is in Puerto Rico, she realizes that Puerto Rico does not welcome her with open arms. Recording this episode while in Puerto Rico herself, on location for a short film with a very similar theme, this interview is special to Rodriguez. Culture should not be gatekept. This is a story of reclamation. Stay tuned to hear from the cast and creative behind “La Gringa.” Thanks for listening! Subscribe to The Jersey Arts Podcast in your favorite podcast player.
