Ensemble or Chorus? Can we still use the Word Chorus?
When co-creator Nikka Graff Lanzarone and I started our theatre-focused podcast in 2013, we spent a lot of energy thinking about what to call it.

We settled on the title “The Ensemblist,” modifying the word “ensemble” into something more technical but undeniable theatrical.
