Our conversation with Susan Bernfield about LEOPOLDSTADT by Tom Stoppard was our most popular episode this season. So, we thought you might be interested in this interview with Aaron Neil who plays Ernest from our friends at "Unorthodox, the World's Leading Jewish Podcast".
The whole episode is great but if you want to jump right to Aaron, his segment starts at 55:15.
Please enjoy and we will be back in the fall with more Theater Practice!
