    Welcome back to Part 2 of our Season 3 premiere. In this episode we continue our conversation that features Jason Schafer, Arthur Lafrentz Bacon, and Jeff Calhoun discussing their new show, Trick! The Musical. Based on the 1999 queer cult classic film, Trick! The Musical follows Gabriel, a shy musical theatre songwriter, and Mark, a go-go dancer, who try to find a place to hook up in Manhattan, only for the romantic endeavor to be hilariously interrupted by friends and bad luck. In this episode, you’ll hear the songs “Dance Floor” performed by Arthur Lafrentz Bacon, as well as “Lemme Walk You to the Train”, performed by Aavyn Lee and Will-Franklin Eller.
