This week on Spotlight 814: Erie’s Local Theatre Podcast:

🕺 We’re joined by Zach Hoffman and Howard Lang, stars of PACA’s powerful production of Boys in the Band, a raw, revolutionary pre-Stonewall play that helped reshape queer representation on stage. 🏳️‍🌈 

🎙️ Tune in as we unpack:
 – Bringing this 1968 queer story to life with authenticity and care
 – How a real-life cast bond powers one of PACA’s strongest ensembles
 – The layered history behind Mart Crowley’s script
 – Plus: a chaotic Ryan Reads Reddit detour involving a body, a broken leg, and a "sack of awesomeness” 💀 

📚 Big thanks to our sponsor Werner Books! Support indie bookstores just like you support local theatre! 

👀 What’s On 814, where we spotlight upcoming shows, auditions, and theatre happenings across Erie and beyond. 

🎟️ Boys in the Band runs at PACA through May 17, and trust us, it’s a must-see!
