The Trinket Nest
Episode 2 - Playbills
This episode we talk about those free little books you get when you see a musical!
Why are Playbills free? What is a Stagebill? What do pop star Gwen Stefani and the 1960's musical "Fiddler on the Roof" have in common? And why is P.T. Barnum the worst??
*All music clips included are for educational purposes!*
