From Stage to Screen (And Everything In Between) is a show for theatre lovers, cinephiles, and everyone in between. We are two theatre professionals, a filmmaker, and a jack of all trades who love the theatrical and cinematic arts. But really we're just a bunch of theatre kids and nerds who decided to get together and discuss the art of adapting musicals into movies, movies into musicals, and sometimes, both! Get ready for theatre history, nerdery, and hot takes on some of the most beloved (and not so beloved) movie and stage musicals. We hope we'll see you in the theater soon!
