Join us for John C. Russell’s Stupid Kids on Wednesday, September 22nd!

We can’t wait to have you join us for our presentation of Show of Titles streaming from Sunday, June 13 at 7pm EST to Thursday, June 17 at 4pm EST.

“Those of us who work on the boards have seen the incredible medical miracle that is working on the stage. Yes, it drains and exhausts and demands but it also energizes and often transforms the actor.”

You are probably familiar with the name Sarna Lapine, you know, the director of “Sunday In The Park With George,” “Madame Butterfly,” “Little Women,” “War Horse” and “Dirty Dancing,” just to name a few.

Yes, I loved being on stage and feeling the stillness and focus and magic of a theater full of people all willing a story into being. But what I remember even more, and what gave me the itch to make my life in the theater, was the backstage.

Every night I was swept away as the actors and technicians joined together to believe wholeheartedly in the story we were telling.

Broadway photographers have a big task: capture the magic, beauty and wonder of a brand new show every night, each one posing new and unexpected challenges.

We rushed into the back of the theatre, up a flight of stairs, and caught her at the top of the stairs as she passed out in our arms.

I fought for the story in the hopes that it would fight for me. And then, out of that big, looming shadow shrank there emerged a man.

While many people may associate springtime with Shakespeare sonnets, Impressionist paintings, or even madrigals, spring has also been the focus of many Broadway composers and lyricists.

During my run as Melchior in Spring Awakening, I was living a double life.

The Broadway production of Tartuffe, at Circle in the Square, in 1978 was something that set me on an unthinkable trajectory of success.

The role that escaped me – one that I would have loved to play. It’s a play I’m pretty sure hasn’t been written yet. There are significant roles for Vinie Burrows and for me. I’ve met Vinie only a couple of times and seen only a little of her work.  But she impresses me, and […]

“Scholars have speculated that Charles Dickens’ 1843 holiday classic may be the ‘most adapted’ text in the English language.” – Katie Birenboim

“Although it wasn’t identified then as such, Broadway got its first Christmas song on Oct. 13, 1903. In the 117 years since, the sweeping swirl of Victor Herbert’s “Toyland” from Babes in Toyland has come to epitomize the joyful spirit of the season.” – Harry Haun

“When someone discovers that I am an actor, at some point I am often asked, ‘How do you remember all those lines?’ I sometimes wonder myself.”

“I waited as the director looks at me…takes off her glasses and says, ‘Don’t ever do that monologue again!'”

“But why? What is it about this type of show that’s so appealing?” – Mark Blankenship

Nostalgia has always been a powerful force in the theater – and right now, it’s stronger than ever.
