"Ames artists Lyndsay Nissen (MFA 2015 Integrated Visual Arts) and Sascha Antropov, an Iowa State University senior in mechanical engineering, have written and produced “Moonrock: The Musical,” which will be presented at 5 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 20, 2019 — timed to coincide with the total lunar eclipse — at the Ames City Auditorium, 520 6th St. A group of people wake up from a collective dream and are inspired to travel to the moon. Guided by the once-legendary Captain Rocket, the crew journeys through space, unaware of the evil that lurks among them."
- from the Iowa State University College of Design website

The creators of Moonrock: The Musical join me in the studio to discuss and protoe the one time musical event happening on January 20th at the Ames City Auditorium. We talk about how the muscial was conceived, how the community came to the call to help put the show on, and we talked about socks. Lyndsay and Sascha duet several of the songs from the musical.

All Recordings done in the Studio at [88.5 KURE Ames Alternative]
