DRAMA. with Connor & Dylan MacDowell14 Elo 2024

“The Vocal is Warm” with Douglas Lyons

Dylan and Connor are joined by Douglas Lyons (Chicken & Biscuits, Parade). Just before the twins’ final reunion of the summer, they sat down with this acclaimed actor and playwright for a little DRAMA! Douglas just returned to the role of Tom Collins in Rent, performing with the San Diego Symphony. Naturally, we talk about the greatness of Jonathan Larson and memories from Douglas’ time on the Rent tour. They discuss all things Table 17, Douglas’ latest play starring Tony Award winner Kara Young. He opens up about his creative process, inspiration for writing this romantic comedy play, and his involvement with casting decisions. We cover Douglas’ youth as a PK, as well as what inspired him to become a writer in the first place, rooted in his backstage days at Beautiful: The Carole King Musical. We speak about the relatability of his plays, especially Chicken & Biscuits, which opened on Broadway after the quarantine. Douglas raves about Norm Lewis, Michael Urie, and a desire to work with luminaries such as Quinta Brunson and Keke Palmer. Connor plugs Other People's Dead Dads by Jacob Wasson, Dylan is Balz to the Walz, and Douglas shares what TV shows are part of his nightly ritual. Table 17 is currently running at MCC Theater through September 22nd - get your tickets today!
