Todays’ episode is part I of a two part series. Several members from the cast of Actors Cooperative Theatre’s productions of Cruel Intentions: The 90’s Musical stop by and give us a deep, deep dive into the show. Angèlica Forcier Rosenthal (Kathryn Merteuil), Garrett Meyer (Sebastian Valmont) and Mackenzie Goodwin (Cecile Caldwell) VERY delicately walk me through this insane show!

The show goes up Aug. 2-11 at the MCTP Theatre at the North End Montessori School; 698 Beech St, Manchester and tickets can be bought at app.arts-people.com/index.php?show=191346.
