  <description><![CDATA[<p><b>OFF BOOK WITH BETH</b> takes audiences beyond the stage and behind the scenes of Springfield Little Theatre for candid conversations with the people who make the magic happen. Hosted by Springfield Little Theatre Executive Director Beth Domann, each episode goes “off book” with artists, volunteers, community leaders, business partners, and friends of the theatre to talk about their work, their connection to Springfield Little Theatre, and the stories you won’t always hear from the stage. From The Landers Theatre to the wider Springfield community, it’s an inside look at the people, partnerships, and passion that keep live theatre thriving in the Ozarks.</p>]]></description>
