Bay City Theatre Artistic Director Lola Grant is performing the ultimate balancing act: running a small, LGBTQ+ theatre during a pandemic, keeping her family together, and producing a new play- that’s still missing an ending. A new kind of podcast for a different kind of world, New Conservatory Theatre Center’s "In Good Company" is a love letter to the resilience of art, artists, and the places they call “home”. New Conservatory Theatre Center is San Francisco’s premier non-profit Queer and Allied theatre since 1981.

The theatre no one thought would make it is back with a bang in Season 2 of NCTC’s hit podcast, In Good Company. Artistic Director Lola Grant and the rest of the Bay City Theatre family have learned to roll with the punches in the year since a pandemic closed the doors of their home away from home. But with the reopening of the city rapidly approaching, her team falling apart and marriage on the brink, Lola is running out of time to make a stand for her theatre and for herself.

Bay City Theatre Artistic Director Lola Grant is performing the ultimate balancing act: running a small, LGBTQ theatre during a pandemic, keeping her family together, and producing a new play- that’s still missing an ending. A new kind of podcast for a different kind of world, New Conservatory Theatre Center’s In Good Company is a love letter to the resilience of art, artists, and the places they call “home”.
