Actress Constance Whitman reveals the unexpected twist in her one-woman show Girls and Boys, which she discovered through a podcast.

The episode features an interview with actress Constance Whitman about her role in the one-woman show Girls and Boys, written by Dennis Kelly and directed by Ben Bagley. The show opens at the Players Ring Theater in Portsmouth for a limited run of nine performances. Constance explains that the plot involves a woman's journey from an airport encounter to marriage and family, with an unexpected twist she avoids spoiling. She was inspired to take on the project after hearing Carey Mulligan discuss it on the Smartless podcast, which led her to read the script and pitch it to the theater. Constance describes the rehearsal process as collaborative with director Ben Bagley, emphasizing the importance of memorizing lines beforehand due to the solo nature of the performance. She shares that tech week has been challenging without an audience, but early viewers like Margarita and Jill from the Players Ring had positive emotional reactions. The main character and her husband are intentionally unnamed to allow audience interpretation. Constance reflects on this being her first one-person show, contrasting it with previous roles in ensemble plays. She recounts her memorization technique of learning chunks of dialogue and connecting them, which differed from her usual method. The conversation includes a lighthearted moment where Constance recalls her first acting role as a tree in a kindergarten production of Sleeping Beauty. The host, Mike Pomp, promotes ticket sales and show details throughout the interview.
