In this week’s episode, I sit down with Stephen Guy-McGrath. Stephen Guy-McGrath is a Dora award-winning actor, musician, and playwright originally from Newfoundland who has worked across the country for over 25 years. In our conversation today we discuss the moments in his life that lead him into the theatre industry, how our performing careers have different phases and how to navigating ageing both into and out of roles, as well as how he began writing and his show “Bully”. We also discuss the importance craft in “jukebox musicals” and why certain shows such as “Mamma Mia” and “Million Dollar Quartet” are so popular, people’s desire for exclusivity and how we can use it to grow theatre audiences, as well as his show “Spinning Yarns” which is a part of the Charlottetown Festival’s upcoming season and where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future.
