One of the most critical and stressful points in a theatre production is Tech Week (aka Hell Week). Learn what hell week is, and join us as we chat with a local Denver executive artistic director about his theatre, his experiences and the week known as HELL! We talked a little too long with our guest so this episode does not include our trademark “The Process” segment. Sorry! We’ll make it up to you with a dedicated “MINISODE” !
Leave us a voice message with your question and we will play it on air! https://anchor.fm/11minutestheatre

— ALESHA’S LUXURIOUS LIBATIONS RECIPE —
The Mind Eraser (1 serving)
The Mind Eraser is a fun drink that hails from the decade of so many other fun drinks: the 1980s. Combining vodka, coffee liqueur and sparkling water, it’s essentially a Black Russian with bubbles.
Add the coffee liqueur to an ice filled glass
Add vodka slowly, allowing it to layer in the glass
Top it off with club soda, and serve with a straw!
