In Good Company

The drama onstage is nothing compared to what’s happening behind the scenes in this original episodic podcast series. Bay City Theatre Artistic Director Lola Grant is performing the ultimate balancing act: running a small, LGBTQ+ theatre during a pandemic, keeping her family together, and producing a new play- that’s still missing an ending. A new kind of podcast for a different kind of world, In Good Company is a love letter to the resilience of art, artists, and the places they call “home”.
