This week I'm joined by the talented and multi-disciplined Morgan Sellers (W&M '17). One of the best tap dancers I've met so far, Morgan started in the High School Drama program and then moved to Stage Management and finally to Wig and Makeup where she found her people. She's out here in LA hustling and we share some early war stories from right after she landed in Hollywood. Enjoy!

After over 3 years, At The Elephants returns with "Average" Joe Flanders (Film '10). Joe was my first roommate when I made the move to Los Angeles in 2016, but nearly everything we discuss happens before that. We cover some childhood ailments, the essence of comedy privilege and how spending your summers making movies can land you and your friends in a Myrtle Beach jail cell for the night. We cover all that and of course the creation of "AVERAGE JOE", "THE ANDY SHOW", and his podcast "BAD TIMES, GOOD STORIES" not before discussing what Joe calls "the great demise" of his early career as a writer's assistant on EASTBOUND & DOWN. This is a great chat between two pickles who for sure like each other. A good way to bring this back. Enjoy.

Matt Loehr (Drama Faculty) Matt has been teaching dance at UNCSA since Mollie Murray retired from the Drama School and just completed a smash hit on campus, directing The Drowsy Chaperone. Matt has made an exceptional career on Broadway in The Producers, Elf: The Musical, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, Movin' Out & Book of Mormon! Aside from all his success, or rather maybe in spite of it, Matt is an exceptionally down to Earth fellow and a kind, compassionate educator.

One is a rocker, the other a poet. They both provide that extra "degree" of education in the School Of Liberal Arts. Dean Wilcox & Joe Mills are excellent educators with great stories.
