Beneath its infectious optimism, the series thrives on human connection, emotional storytelling, and finding beauty in life's most unexpected moments.

    Exclusive Interview: Ed Perkins, Director of 'Clown Panic'

    There was a time when spotting a creepy clown on a street corner was enough to send an entire neighborhood into a frenzy. No, not just the neighborhood, but the entire world into a state of panic. What began as a handful of bizarre sightings quickly spiraled into a cultural phenomenon, fueled by fear, fascination, and the internet's remarkable ability to turn almost anything into a full-blown spectacle. And believe me, as someone who dislikes clowns, it was truly a circus. In his documentary Clown Panic, filmmaker Ed Perkins pulls back the curtain on this unsettling phenomenon, exploring how something so seemingly ridiculous could spark genuine public anxiety. But beneath the painted smiles, oversized shoes, and nightmare-inducing appearances lies a much more fascinating story about the psychology of fear, the power of social media, and the sometimes blurry line between reality and mass hysteria. We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Perkins about his latest documentary, which recently arrived on Hulu! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Ed Perkins discusses what inspired him to make Clown Panic and the challenges of separating fact from fiction as he explores this peculiar chapter in American unrest. What did this time reveal about a society's collective fears, and how far it's willing to go to absolve itself of them? From the absurdity of the clown craze to its surprisingly thought-provoking implications, our conversation explores why this strange phenomenon keeps us fascinated, and why the scariest thing isn't always the clown itself, but the panic around it.

    Exclusive Interview: Jamie Warrow and Brady Jacot of The Ringwald Theatre's 'Equus'

    Some plays are built to entertain audiences; others, like Equus, challenge viewers with a theatrical experience that gets under your skin and refuses to leave quietly. Peter Shaffer’s provocative psychological drama explores the complicated relationship between passion, obsession, faith, and the human desire to find meaning in a world that often demands conformity. Now, The Ringwald Theatre is taking audiences into the unsettling world of Equus, where the line between sanity and madness is anything but clear. We recently sat down with Equus director Jamie Warrow and cast member Brady Jacot to talk about what it's like to bring a show like this to the stage! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Jamie Warrow and Brady Jacot discuss what drew them to The Ringwald Theatre's production of Equus. Warrow says it wasn't an immediate yes, but after spending time with the material, she eventually got on board. How challenging has it been for Jacot to step into Alan's role and all the layers that come with it? How has The Ringwald Theatre adapted this material, and how has producing it in the round changed how audiences will engage with it? And how does this production still sit with the story's uncomfortableness? Find out all those answers and more in this exciting interview!
