K continues the discussion of the history of black theatre by covering a dark period of theatre history – minstrel shows, before going into some theatrical firsts for Black Americans. Learn about William Henry Lane (also known as Master Juba), a black man who got his start in minstrel shows before ultimately becoming the father of tap dance and find out about the African Grove Theatre: the first Black run theatre in America.

They discuss the views from the book Black Theatre: Ritual Performance in the African Diaspora and K forgets how many days are in the month of February during a leap year!

Merry Christmas. It’s the episode we know you were all waiting for. We watched the Cats Movie before the Visual Improvements were released. We are so glad we’re taking a break for the next month.
Just how horrifying is the Cats Movie? Did they stop at giving human faces to cats? Did the plot get better? Discuss Cats Fanfiction and learn just how useful a hot air balloon and a chandelier can be in this episode of Tone Deaf!
Opening mewsic was recorded by the Not-So-Jellicle Choir.

Opening song is a parody of “Bikini Bottom Day” by Johnathan Coulton.
It’s that time of the year, when Old Man Winter blows his load all over Utah and K and Warren resign themselves to watching Christmas Specials.
Sorry, Grandma Warren.
This week, K and Warren tackle the Christmas Classic, “White Christmas” and decide if it is worth all of the hype or if it falls into the pit of mediocrity. Warren sings carols while K tells us how they really feel about Bing Crosby in this, the only Christmas related episode of 2019.
Warren signed off on this title.
This week, K and Warren watch the 2005 ABC adaptation of Once Upon a Mattress. Will Warren like this more than the high school production or will this one be sent to swim in the moat? K and Warren discuss a True Lies musical and Warren nearly breaks his wife with the names he gives the characters this week on Tone Deaf!
K and Warren do another minisode – this time covering Alta High School’s production of Once Upon a Mattress! Will Warren enjoy this more than elf and live Happily Ever After? Listen to today’s minisode to find out!
