Chewing Gum Dreams by Michaela Cole

Ever wonder what the radioactive spider bite of a playwright could be? We think we may have a superhero/star origin story for Michaela Cole in her play Chewing Gum Dreams. Meg & Lexie debate what makes someone the heroine in a one person show - Plus what song does make the best accompaniment to a teenage make out session?

Co Hosted by Lexie Ward and Meg Robinson.
Music By Connor Barton (Sethera Sound Design)
