We've never sent a Nose panel to a play before. So this week, we figured we'd try it out. So we've all gone to see Steve Martin's world premiere at the Long Wharf in New Haven: Meteor Shower.

And: Bob Dylan is a Nobel laureate.

And also: Ken Bone is famous.

GUESTS:
  • Rebecca Castellani - Scholar of modern literature
  • Jacques Lamarre - Senior project manager at Buzz Engine
  • Frank Rizzo - Former long-time Hartford Courant theater writer; freelance writer for Variety and other places
