Are we out of ideas?

The internet went wild over what turned out to be a premature prediction of a “Golden Girls” reboot. And the Golden Girls are legendary, no doubt. But just about everything is getting rebooted or relaunched these days.

Is that an indication that we have a proper sense of nostalgia and respect for the classics? Or did we really need an updated “Full House?”

Our guests discuss it:

Reenah Golden, founder, CEO, and artistic director of the Avenue BlackBox Theatre
Freyda Schneider, co-founder and executive director of TYKEs (Theatre Young Kids Enjoy)
Eric Vaughn Johnson, owner and executive and artistic director of OFC Creations Theatre Center
