Backstage with Mark Metcalf and David Begel

Did you know:

David Begel, an arts professional, sports writer, former TV personality, columnist for OnMilwaukee.com, actor and raconteur,  has never applied for a job?

Long-time friends Mark Metcalf and David Begel discuss how they met in a Milwaukee Shakespeare production of The Merchant of Venice, David’s long and colorful career that spans the great distance between sports writing, MPS administration and acting on stage, how professional sports are like theater, arts criticism and what it will take to make a more vibrant culture for the arts in Milwaukee. Discussed: national public dance, Mark’s tardiness, how the internet just lets you keep going and going.
