It will feature sketches written and performed by O'Gorman and Smith, with Pensavalle, and Mike O'Gorman (Vice Principals, A.P Bio) lending their voices as various characters.

Earlier this week, one of the theatre community's most beloved podcasts, 'The Hamilcast' celebrated two years of episodes. En route to becoming 'the official unofficial podcast of HAMILTON,' the show's creator, host, and producer Gillian Pensavalle has released more than 100 episodes, which include conversations with many of the show's performers and creators, in-depth discussions of the Ron Chernow biography that inspired the musical, and an epic, four-part October sit-down with creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, appropriately dubbed #Lintoberfest.

BroadwayWorld has teamed up with Broadway alum Ilana Levine, who makes her entrance onto the podcast stage with her new show Little Known Facts. Ilana's unique brand of celebrity interview, 'Podcast Verite,' is unfiltered, raw, honest and uniquely funny.

Mega-musical Hamilton has revolutionized the way Americans learn about American history since it opened on Broadway in August 2015, and has been smashing every expectation by grossing $100 million per year to sell-out crowds at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. And now you can hear the creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, like you've never heard him before on four new exclusive episodes of The Hamilcast -- Hamilton's unofficial podcast.

Ian Sullivan, Artistic Director of The Long Island Theatre Collective is very excited about their 2016-2017 season: "We are proud to present two world premier pieces from excellent young playwrights and a modern American classic written by one of our countries most prolific voices...they feature distinctly American voices and American stories and are incredibly relevant."
