A reunion of the television talk show hosted by Michael Riedel and Patrick Pacheco.

“There are two important events in the history of television: When Philo Farnsworth invented it, and when I decided to appear on it. "Talkin' Theater" is considered one of the greatest talk shows of all time. It certainly is the greatest television show devoted to the theater and remains head-and-shoulders above its pale imitators, New York One's "On Stage" and CUNY-TV's "All the Moving Parts." Since Talkin' Theater went off the air 10 years ago, Broadway grosses have yet to recover.” - Michael Reidel
