Imagine a place where the sun is hot, the ocean’s warm and the drinks are as cold as they are plentiful. Welcome to Margaritaville, the island paradise where city folk get away from it all and the locals get into the kind of trouble you can almost always sweet talk your way out of. Featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics, "Escape To Margaritaville" is the musical comedy featuring both original songs and your most-loved Jimmy Buffett classics. Join cast Paul Alexander Nolan, Alison Luff, Lisa Howard and Eric Petersen as they talk about the musical.

From legendary composer John Kander, Tony Award-nominated playwright David Thompson and five-time Tony Award-winning director and choreographer Susan Stroman comes a stunningly original new work — fusing dance, drama and music. Inspired by Henry James’ classic 1903 novella, "The Beast in the Jungle" is the story of John Marcher, a man haunted by personal demons, whose great yet unfulfilled love affair with an unforgettable woman spans decades and continents. With a waltz-inspired instrumental score, and dazzling choreography that traverses the worlds of ballet and contemporary dance, the play is a powerful and romantic tale of love and loss. Stroman, Irina Dvorovenko & Tony Yazbeck pay BUILD a visit to discuss the play.

Marian Hill consists of Philadelphia natives and high school friends Gongol (vocals/songwriting) and Lloyd (production/songwriting). The duo has a one of a kind sound that is present throughout — blues harmonies blend with sparse hip-hop drums, horns blast under classic vocal melodies and soloistic vocal chops sit side by side with clear, intimate lyrics. Marian Hill’s sophomore album, "Unusual," evolves the sonic and soulful adventure Samantha Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd began on their debut album, "Act One," & breakthrough platinum single, "Down," which reached Top 10 on Top 40 radio and Top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

"The Good Doctor" follows Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome, who relocates from a quiet country life to join the prestigious St. Bonaventure hospital’s surgical unit. Alone in the world and unable to personally connect with those around him, his only advocate, Dr. Aaron Glassman (Richard Schiff), challenges the skepticism and prejudices of the hospital’s board and staff when he brings him in to join the team. Shaun will need to work harder than he ever has before, as he navigates his new environment and relationships to prove to his colleagues that his extraordinary medical gifts will save lives.
