Theater Stories: The Story Theater Company Podcast

We are one week from raising the curtain on Beetlejuice Jr! The excitement is only matched by the amount work to be done. This week Maggie talks to Miss Argentina, Lauren Kooistra and Otho, Charlie Huntington as the show goes through its last adjustments before moving into the City Auditorium. 

As opening night draws closer, we continue our series of interviews with the cast of Beetlejuice Jr. This week we talk with Owen Merrill and Anna Mostek about the show and their characters, newlyweds Adam and Barbara Maitland. 

This week we stop by a very busy crew day as the teens continue work on Beetlejuice Jr with move-in just two weeks away. Tom talks with Derek Olson and Grayce Wanner, who play Charles and Delia, about the differences from the movie, light design and a pizza topping a lot people get wrong.

And then Maggie talks to Ember Biggs about his Sketch Lab workshop coming to STC next month.

This week Maggie takes a drive with Elodie Biggs, the sound and props designer on Beetlejuice Jr, now less than a month away. They talk about the unique challenges of a stylistic show like Beetlejuice and stop to get some Crumbl Cookies, for some reason.

Eli Huffard and Kara Harding join Maggie (and Elodie) to talk about everything going on at rehearsals and they dive into what gets them out of bed in the morning, foodwise.

This week Maggie talks to the set and projections designer on Beetlejuice Jr, Dunkin Bearson. They chat about past shows, Beetlejuice inspiration and the scariest thing for designers and the undead: Sandworms.

This week Maggie talks with her costume co-conspirator, Lilly Klindt. They talk about the process of designing, finding and fitting costumes and the importance of collaboration with other leads, the director and their crew.

This week Tom stops by Beetlejuice rehearsals to talk with STC veteran, AJ Schill about the challenges and opportunities of stage management and progress on the teen musical in the early stages.

This week, Maggie talks to director Lance Harding as Beetlejuice Jr rehearsals are off and running. In the longest Theater Stories episode to date (and it's not even close) they talk about Lance's background, videon and why Beetlejuice still relevant 37 years after the original movie.
