I'll go out on a limb and say you probably didn't have any mental images of Hartford, CT but the two will be synonymous this year (2023). The CT Convention Center in Hartford will soon be transformed into a rich exhibit called: "Beyond King Tut: the Immersive Experience."

Ancient Egypt and Boy King Come to Life in Brilliant CT Experience

"Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience" is a window into the distant past. This is a chance to see Ancient Egypt and King Tut without ever leaving Connecticut or 2023. 

Think about it, King Tut was 9 when he took the big chair. I wasn't fit for a Kingdom when I was 39. That means I think I am now at 44.

Ridgefield Playhouse Exec Shares Revealing Tales About Richards and More

The Ridgefield Playhouse and I-95 have had a longstanding and fruitful business relationship.The Playhouse, it's leadership and staff have always been welcoming to us and we like to think we've been good to them as well.

I've been doing the I-95 Morning Show for 15 years and in that time I've had so many wonderful memories in that building. We performed our Ethan and Lou 10 year Anniversary concert there, I've met countless celebrities at the Playhouse and have attended many of their shows.

Many of the top flight guests we've booked on the I-95 Morning Show have been courtesy of our association with the Playhouse. But it wasn't just the rock stars that got invited to our studio, the people behind the curtain have always been regular guests on our shows.

Jared Shahid is the new Managing Director at the Ridgefield Playhouse but not a new face to us. Ethan and I have hung with him backstage, we've had him in the studio and he and I even worked on a TV project together.

Jared is one of the best storytellers I know so we were delighted to invite him back on the show. Recently, Shahid joined us on the the I-95 Morning Show with Ethan, Lou & Dave. Whenever he comes in, he brings tickets and stories for our audience. These are some of the amazing behind the scenes tales he shared with us on Thursday (5/25/23).
