Stranger things are happening here at From The Top! and Steven and Mary are still dismayed and delighted about it, Demogorgon be damned, because at least Barb got her justice in this week's Show Notes! covering Stranger Sings: A Musical Parody.
Notes From A Director finds a few facts gone upside down of the DnD variety.
Actors Nightmare spooks our duo with a few nosebleed worthy missed items and a few clips from another dimension at Life's But A Song Podcast with Jon Reilly.
Quick Cast runs up that hill SO HARD, they may be hallucinating.
What If? makes them face their fears and be… serious?

Dear FTT Fam,
Today is gonna be a good day. Do you know why?! Mary and Steven are back to kick off season three of From The Top! covering Dear Evan Hansen.
The struggle is real on if intentions justify means when good comes from being deplorable, if parents are insane or just clueless, and who's to blame in this rollercoaster of a show that hit the scene in 2016. Elevate that casted arm, wave through that window, or create a brand new nonprofit orchard while you enjoy From The Top!'s Season 3 kick-off on a season about Outcasts. Happy Listening!!!

Hello FTT Fam!
It's been a minute since we've been able to connect, but never fear! We are still around, and still stirring up some wonderful things for our third season of From the Top! Unfortunately, as we know, life can sometimes be nothing but chaos, and FTT host Steven has needed to take some much needed R&R after being in two shows back to back.
But never fear! We still have some **amazing** content to keep you company while you wait. Make sure to check out our other episodes about black and white stripped suited demons, or plants from another world that crave human blood. Or, check out the FTT hosts cameo on Life's But A Song pod wherever you can get your podcasts.
We promise we'll be back soon. Thank you for your patience - we love you guys!
