Hot Dragoning gossip! Emily Hartford, who plays Ashley, and Ned Hartford, who plays Ray in our show are married to each other! And they have a podcast of their own, which we are delighted to get to share the first episode of here, in the home of The Dragoning. * Metra is an original musical fiction podcast about how we change the world. The show weaves myth, magic, and music to tell a story about the power of collective action—and about all we have that’s still worth saving. Featuring a Broadway cast including Tony nominee Jeannette Bayardelle, Fred Inkley, Cherrye J. Davis, Corinna Schulenburg, and many more. Written and created by The Hartfords. The year is 2043. The world is hot, water is scarce, the weather is unpredictable…and the fossil fuel industry continues to thrive. The wealthy are comfortable in their air-purified, cooled, humidified, superbly hydrated Bubble cities. But in a roadside bar on the Outside, an unlikely group of revolutionaries is about to demand a new story. Metra releases weekly on Wednesdays, on all podcast platforms. Follow @metrathemusical on IG for launch info and bonus content. Written by Emily and Ned Hartford Music and Lyrics by Ned Hartford Dialogue Directed by Emily Hartford Produced by MythMakers Media Starring Jeannette Bayardelle, Cherrye J. Davis, Fred Inkley, Corinna Schulenburg, Alia Munsch, Cristina Obando Sanchez, and Sierra Rein Casting by Judy Bowman, CSA and MythMakers Media Sound Editing and Design by Ned Hartford Instrumentation Arranged and Performed by Ned Hartford Vocals Arranged by Ned Hartford All Audio Produced, Engineered, and Mixed by Ned Hartford Marketing and PR by Tink Media Image by Holly Brown
