The Lynne Show is about finding out who you really are and then becoming it. The usual format (from which I occasionally deviate) is to spend the first half of the show describing the obstacles to knowing who we really are, and the second half of the show airing my Anatomy of an Artist interview series where I interview people who make their living or their life with their art.

In February all of my shows will feature productions currently playing at the Asolo Repertory Theatre in Sarasota Florida

Discussion – Is there a danger attached to discovering those parts of you which you have had to hide undercover? Are there consequences, of which you are consciously unaware, to discovering aspects of yourself that you have hidden (even from yourself) or to making certain changes in your life? In this show I talk about the existence of these dangers and how to unearth them so you can be “all that you can be.”

Interview – Michael Donald Edwards is the producing artistic director of the Asolo Theater and in this show he talks about his production (he directed) of The Life of Galileo. In our last interview, Michael talked extensively about his interest in the impact of religion on us and our culture. This interview follows that one and in it Michael explains why he was drawn to Galileo’s story and why he thinks this play and Paul Whitworth’s extraordinary performance are a must see. In this show I am also airing Sharon Lesley’s review of the play – listen to see if she agrees.

Discussion – One of the ways to discover the danger that might be stopping you from discovering the parts of yourself which you had to hide, is to explore your Catastrophic Expectations. In this show I will discuss this concept and explain how to find you Catastrophic Expectation.

Interview –  Kris Danford and Sam Osheroff  are husband and wife, talented actors and co stars in two plays running in repertory at the Asolo. In Searching For Eden they play Adam and Eve. The first act takes place in Eden as they discover themselves, each other and of course are banished. This act explores the stereotypical differences between men and woman. The second act sees a modern Adam and Eve, no longer in Eden, trying to maintain their relationship amid the stresses of modern life. Five Years After is the story of a couple who find each other, fall in love and then fall apart. There are many interesting twists in this play which is done completely in wonderfully clever and poignant songs by two talented actor/singers. There is a special advantage to seeing a married couple play lovers and of course it is that they are – and so they bring to these performances something that no other actors no matter how talented can bring – they bring the truth…
