Inside Spotlight

We recently had our first read for the next production of our 2013/2014 season, Barefoot In The Park, by Neil Simon.  Before we got started, we spoke with director Wade Wood, actor Sam Gilstrap and artistic director Bernie Cardell about Neil Simon's timeless romantic comedy.

The first production of our 2013/2014 season, Agatha Christie's Witness For The Prosecution recently closed a successful run, and in this episode we get some closing thoughts from actor Tommy Jennings and light/sound board operator, Erik Wilkins.

We recently held auditions for the next two productions of our 2013/2014 season, Barefoot In The Park by Neil Simon and Deathtrap by Ira Levin.  We had a terrific turnout, with lots of stupendous talent!  Artistic Director, andDeathtrap director Bernie Cardell talks about a few memorable auditions he's witnessed, and offers some sage advice.

This episode, we have our first celebrity guests!  The great Carol Channing and Bette Davis pay a visit, and we chat with some cast members about a few memorable onstage mishaps that have happened in the past.  Missed lines, wrong cues and all of the general heart stopping action that comes with live theater.  There isn't always a mishap, but when it is, it's one to remember!

It's opening weekend!  It's time to put on make up, it's time to light the lights!  Host and moderator Luke Allen Terry and the cast talk about rituals actors do before a performance, as well as after a performance in some cases.  And fearless leader Linda Suttle shares some of her favorite notes through rehearsals and gives the cast some words of encouragement before a sold out opening night performance.

Podcasting is back at Spotlight Theater Company, and in this episode, we chat with director Linda Suttle, actors Ken Street and Tommy Jennings about the challenges, and fun, that come with putting on a piece by Agatha Christie.
