    Exclusive Interview: Jonathan Kind and Jeff Thomakos of Inspired Acting Company's 'God of Carnage'

    Few things are more entertaining than watching perfectly respectable adults completely lose their composure, and that is precisely where Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage finds its wickedly funny sweet spot. What begins as a seemingly civilized meeting between two sets of parents quickly spirals into an increasingly chaotic battle of egos, grievances, and barely concealed resentment. Beneath the sharp wit and outrageous comedy, however, the play offers a deliciously uncomfortable look at how quickly social niceties can crumble when people are pushed just a little too far. Inspired Acting Company is bringing this acclaimed dark comedy to the stage, inviting audiences to take a front-row seat as four adults attempt to navigate an evening that becomes considerably more explosive than anyone could have anticipated. We had a chance to talk with the Artistic Director of Inspired Acting Company, who is also one of the actors in the show, Jeff Thomakos, and the director of God of Carnage, Jonathan Kind! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Jonathan Kind and Jeff Thomakos discuss what drew them to God of Carnage and what audiences can expect from this intimate play. Bringing Reza’s razor-sharp comedy to life, navigating the complicated relationships at the heart of the story, and balancing outrageous humor with uncomfortable truths, they discuss how Inspired Acting Company supports actors through the process and why stories like this one matter.

    Exclusive Interview: Michael Alan Herman and Briana O'Neal of Theatre Nova's 'Maestro'

    Theater has a remarkable ability to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary, inviting audiences to see familiar experiences through an entirely new lens. At Theatre Nova, playwright Michael Alan Herman and director Briana O'Neal bring a new theatrical experience, Maestro, to the stage, inviting audiences to immerse themselves in a story that sparks curiosity, reflection, and conversation. Maestro turns a world of music and drama into a show that embraces the melodrama, striking a chord between a world long gone and the reality we live in now. As a venue known for championing adventurous, thought-provoking works, Theatre Nova provides a fitting home for a production that encourages audiences to look beyond the surface and engage with the ideas unfolding before them, making Maestro a match made in musical heaven. We recently spoke with Michael Alan Herman and Briana O'Neal about their time on this production and what audiences can expect when they attend Maestro at Theatre Nova! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Michael Alan Herman shares where the idea for this show came from (spoiler alert: it was heavily influenced by a date with his wife!) and how he turned it from a thought in his head into a script on the page. Director Briana O'Neal talks about how vivid the story on the page is and how easily it felt to develop Maestro for Theatre Nova's stage! With a show bigger than life, both Herman and O'Neal embrace it and push the boundaries to create a show that is as hysterical as it is fun!

    Exclusive Interview: Scott Schoenberger of Glenlore Trails 'CarnEvil2'

    'Tis the season for thrills and chills; however, those looking for some Halloween fun without the scares need look no further than Glenloe Trails' CarnEvil 2! This experience turns a simple walk through the woods into a full-blown, family-friendly descent into the macabre. With a trail that has more treats than tricks, elaborate lighting, some fun interactive features, and plenty of surprises lurking around every corner, CarnEvil 2 takes the concept of a Halloween attraction and makes it far more immersive. This is a world where Halloween feels alive, the unexpected is practically guaranteed, and every step forward comes with the question of what might be waiting just beyond the next turn. We recently spoke with Scott Schoeneberger, the creator behind Glenlore Trails and the mind helping bring CarnEvil 2 to life. In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Scott Schoeneberger has built an experience that goes beyond a simple walk through the woods, embracing the atmosphere, storytelling, visual spectacle, and theatricality that make a great Halloween event memorable. With CarnEvil 2, that vision gets even bigger, stranger, and more unpredictable, inviting audiences to leave the ordinary world behind and willingly step into the nightmare. Schoeneberger offers a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into creating Glenlore Trails’ latest frightfully fun-filled adventure, and why sometimes the best way to celebrate Halloween is to get completely lost in the dark forest and bright lights.

    Get ready for a theatrical disaster unlike anything you've ever seen before, and thankfully, that is very much the point.

Leading the charge is director Brian Townsend, who took time out of his busy schedule to sit down with us and talk about what audiences can expect!

    Exclusive Interview: Aurora Real De Asua & Julia Glander of Tipping Point Theatre's 'Aping Jane'

    What happens when the story we think we know about a person beloved by so many is turned on its head? That question sits at the heart of Aping Jane, a thought-provoking new production making its World premiere at Tipping Point Theatre. Written by Aurora Real de Asua and directed by Julia Glander, the play takes a fresh, provocative look at the life, legacy, and complicated mythology surrounding one of literature’s most recognizable figures, Jane Goodall. Rather than simply revisiting familiar territory or telling it in a traditional theatrical style, Aping Jane invites audiences to reconsider the stories we inherit, the people who get to tell them, and the ways history can be reshaped through imagination and perspective. In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Aurora Real de Asua and Julia Glander discuss what it's like to bring this developmental production to Tipping Point Theatre! With Real de Asua bringing the words to the stage and Glander shaping those words into a theatrical experience, the production becomes a fascinating meeting of playwright and director, two artists approaching the material from different creative angles while working toward the same compelling vision. Real de Asua discusses her inspiration for the play, while both guests talk about the impact that Jane Goodall had on their lives. What are the challenges of a developmental show?

    Exclusive Interview: Jonathan Bricklin of 'Little People Social Club'

    What happens when a simple idea for bringing people together becomes something much bigger? For Jonathan Bricklin, the answer is Little People Social Club, an upcoming space built around connection, community, and the idea that the right gathering can turn strangers into something more meaningful. As the club's creator, Bricklin has helped shape an environment that is about more than simply showing up; it is about creating opportunities for people to connect, share experiences, and become part of something. But most importantly, it's about inclusion, with a space designed with Little People in mind.  In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Jonathan Bricklin shares the inspiration behind Little People Social Club, what he hopes the club can offer its members, and how he turned an idea into a real-world community. How has his experience of creating many successful ping-pong clubs across New York City influenced how he approached Little People Social Club? What vibes and design is he bringing to this latest venture? We also take a closer look at what makes the concept unique and why creating spaces where people can come together remains so powerful, especially today.

    Exclusive Interview: Migdalia Cruz of 'Women+ On The Edge of Democracy'

    Theater has always had the power to confront the moment we are living in, and playwright Migdalia Cruz brings a particularly distinctive voice to that conversation. Through her work, Cruz has explored the complexities of identity, power, history, and the human experience, creating theater that invites audiences to look at familiar issues from unexpected perspectives. Her participation in Women+ on the Edge of Democracy places that voice within a larger theatrical conversation about democracy, representation, and women navigating an increasingly complicated world. The project brings together playwrights and artists who use theater to examine the forces shaping society, and Cruz’s contribution adds another compelling perspective to that dialogue. In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Migdalia Cruz discusses her work, her creative process, and what drew her to Women+ on the Edge of Democracy, offering insight into how playwrights can use their craft not simply to tell stories, but to challenge audiences to think, question, and engage with the world around them. She discusses how she wanted to flip what it means to be a political play, instead focusing on comedy as a device to deliver her larger message.

    'Suffs the Musical' Music and Stagecraft | The BSB Podcast

    Some musicals tell a story while others make history feel alive. Suffs does the latter with a striking combination of powerful music, dynamic performances, and inventive stagecraft that transforms a pivotal chapter of American history into something immediate and theatrical. With its score driving the story's emotional heartbeat, the musical uses music not simply to move the plot forward, but to give its characters distinct voices and its larger themes urgency and momentum. Equally impressive is the production’s stagecraft, which creates a world that can shift seamlessly between intimate personal moments and sweeping historical events. From the ensemble's movement to the visual design surrounding them, every element feels carefully orchestrated. In this episode of the BSB Podcast, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko are once again joined by guest Emily Brown to continue their discussion of the North American touring production of Suffs the Musical! How does this music add to the overall feel of the show? Was there a specific number or song that these three were drawn to? How did the set and costumes work together to deliver the all-important message at the core of Suffs the Musical? Listen to this podcast episode to find out!
