Stage Door, a theatre podcast hosted by two average guys. Hosted by: Kyle Omlor, Thom Ovacek, Ron Ma

What if the French Revolution wasn’t just history… but a full-blown, fourth-wall-breaking comedy?

In this episode, we dive into The Revolutionists, Lauren Gunderson’s bold, irreverent, and wildly entertaining play that reimagines 1793 Paris through the voices of four fierce women who refuse to stay silent.

Meet Olympe de Gouges, a playwright fighting to make her words matter. Charlotte Corday, an assassin determined to change the course of history. Marie Antoinette, the ribbon-loving former queen living in her own reality. And Marianne Angelle, a revolutionary force representing the fight against oppression beyond France’s borders.

Part comedy, part commentary, and part theatrical rebellion, The Revolutionists explores feminism, activism, legacy, and the power of chosen sisterhood—all while questioning its own story in real time.

It’s sharp. It’s chaotic. It’s hilarious. And it’s more relevant than ever.

Catch The Revolutionists at Black Swamp Players, running April 24–26 and May 1–3.

What happens when the very thing that defines you begins to slip away?

In this episode, we explore Still Alice, the powerful stage adaptation of Lisa Genova’s bestselling novel. Centered on Dr. Alice Howland, a brilliant linguistics professor at Columbia University, the play follows her journey after an early-onset Alzheimer’s diagnosis turns her world upside down.

As Alice fights to hold onto her identity, independence, and connection to her family, Still Alice delivers a deeply human look at life with dementia. Heartbreaking at times, yet ultimately hopeful, this production sheds light on a condition often misunderstood, reminding us what truly matters when everything else begins to fade.

Adapted and directed by Christine Mary Dunford and originally produced by the Lookingglass Theatre Company, this 90–105 minute drama is both emotionally powerful and profoundly relevant.

Catch Still Alice at The Village Players Theatre, running April 17 through April 26, 2026.

Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Percy’s world, this is one quest worth taking.

Big hair. Bright neon. One legendary dreamcoat.

In this episode, we talk about St. Francis de Sales Musical Theatre’s upcoming production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat—running April 30–May 3, 2026 at the Franciscan Theatre at Lourdes University.

This high-energy Andrew Lloyd Webber classic gets a totally rad twist as the production reimagines the story in the colorful world of the 1980s. Expect bold costumes, retro choreography, and a Technicolor coat that might just steal the show.

It’s fast, fun, and packed with unforgettable songs—from “Any Dream Will Do” to “Go Go Go Joseph.”

If you love musical theatre and a little 80s nostalgia, this is one show you won’t want to miss.

This week on Stage Door, Holly and Kyle sit down to watch the classic movie musical Oklahoma!… and things get very honest, very quickly.

Within minutes, Holly realizes something she simply cannot keep to herself: Curly is ridiculously hot! Cowboy swagger, that voice, the confidence of a man who rides up singing “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” like he owns the prairie… yeah, Holly is openly hot and bothered.

And Kyle? Let’s just say he’s not completely immune either.

But while Curly is out there charming the entire territory, Jud is busy proving himself to be one of the creepiest characters in musical theatre history. Holly and Kyle break down exactly why he sets off every red flag imaginable.

And then there’s Aunt Eller, who might secretly be the most powerful person in the entire story. Calm, fearless, and absolutely not taking nonsense from anyone, she’s basically running the territory while everyone else sings.

In this episode they dive into:

• Why Curly might be the original musical theatre heartthrob

• Why Jud gives off serious “call the sheriff” energy

• The surprisingly bold moments hidden inside this classic musical

• Why Aunt Eller might be the real hero of Oklahoma

• And a whole lot of blunt, slightly raunchy commentary along the way

It’s funny, unfiltered, a little inappropriate, and definitely not the polite theatre discussion you were expecting.

If you love classic musicals but also appreciate honest reactions, hot takes, and calling creeps out when you see them…

What happens when we replace judgment with listening?

In this episode, Issue Box Theatre, in partnership with the Greater Toledo Community Foundation, introduces The Belonging Project : a community-driven theatre initiative challenging stigma around homelessness in Toledo.

Centered around a reimagined production of “Infinity,” the project brings together individuals with lived experience, service providers, and concerned community members to confront myths, spark honest dialogue, and build dignity through storytelling.

With rehearsals launching in early 2026 and performances planned for May in downtown Toledo, this isn’t just a play. It’s a movement toward belonging.
