Go listen to him talk with other very cool people about positive visions of the future, and why tech bro dystopian AI nightmare fantasies aren’t it! If you need me to sweeten the deal, Adam had me write the theme music for it; so go listen to fun little groovy intro and outro bumpers too!

Thinking about coming out for our Auditions for "Pins & Needles" but are wanting to know a bit more about the show? Despite it having faded out of the public consciousness over the past 85 years, it was hugely popular during it's run on Broadway.
