NY Mayor 2021
Presidential Deathmatch is back with another season two interstitial! In celebration of Dennis’ birthday and Aaron’s wedding anniversary New York city decided to have its mayoral primary today! Thank you New York for moving it up by several weeks to give us this wonderful gift.
Aaron and Dennis discuss the current state of the mayoral race, nerdy voting practices, and two mayors of New York City’s past: the long-forgotten Fiorello LaGuardia, and the man whom every politician is compared to Richard Varick.
Don’t forget to vote for the winner here: https://www.strawpoll.me/45421728
PM 49: God Kings Post-Mort
June was a month chock-a-block with shows from Pronoia Theater! Between our first live performance in over a year to the ambitious God Kings III, we did a lot of things in a short amount of time.
Aaron and Steven discuss community, writing, being rusty, and gauging audience reaction as they dive into this important month in the company.
Production Meeting is the only show about creating independent theater wherever you are with whatever you have. If you'd like to support the show you can do so at paypal.me/pronoiatheater or venmo: @pronoia.

PM 48: Q1 DPS Book Club
After slaying the 2020 DPS Book club in one swoop Aaron takes a quarterly approach and limits himself to talking about only seven plays this time around. It’s not without its technical pitfalls though!
God Kings III: Four Presidents Walk Into a War
Under the tutelage of the immortal William Henry Harrison young Hayley Walters continues her training to one day become president, but has to survive high school first!
Over four parties she struggles to become popular, only to realize the tradeoffs that come with that through the hearing stories of the failures of presidents Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan.
With all the silliness and darkness you've come to expect from Pronoia Theater God Kings III: Four Presidents Walk into a War is our biggest story yet!

Double Platinum: One Week
Time for a new kind of Double Platinum! While most of these episodes exploring the creation of a new sketch show are retrospective: explaining the process of coming up with the idea and how it turned out, this episode sees Aaron narrating his outline process as it happens in real (edited) time!
