Multi-hyphenate "ographer" (fight, choreo, et al.) Jenny Male is here to talk about the brilliant play Tinker Bell that she is ography-ing at Adventure Theatre MTC. Also she's here to talk about the Tony-winning musical with self-confessed a "terrible title."

Topics include: Brecht, pay toilets, and how much self-referential humor can one show sustain?
