Episode 39 of The Tideline, with Tara Thorne, is published.

The actor and playwright Jacob Sampson drops by the studio this week ahead of opening night for Shakespeare By The Sea’s mainstage show of the season, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. It’s his first time on stage—in this case the grounds of Point Pleasant Park—in over two years!
