  Exclusive Interview: Susan Miller of 'Women+ On The Edge of Democracy'

  Sep 29, 202617 min

  When democracy, identity, and the voices that shape our society are constantly questioned, theater can do something remarkably simple—and remarkably important: make us listen. That idea is at the heart of Women+ on the Edge of Democracy, a project that brings together writers and artists to explore the complicated realities facing women and marginalized voices in an increasingly fractured world. Among those contributing to this important artistic conversation is playwright Susan Miller, whose work has long shown theater's ability to turn larger social questions into deeply personal stories. With Women+ on the Edge of Democracy, Miller joins a collective exploration of what it means to have a voice, to fight to be heard, and to navigate a world where democratic ideals can feel both essential and fragile. Her participation adds another distinctive perspective to a project built on conversation, creativity, and the stage's power to challenge audiences. In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Susan Miller discusses her work with Women+ on the Edge of Democracy, what drew her to the project, and how theater can create space for difficult questions while encouraging audiences to see the world around them in new ways. She also discusses what it's like to be part of a project like this one that joins voices and brings them to communities across the country during such a divisive time.

  Exclusive Interview: Alanis Sophia of 'Mrs. Doubtfire The Musical'

  Sep 29, 202616 min

  Some transformations go beyond a costume change, which the opening show of the 313 Presents Broadway season would definitely know about! In Mrs. Doubtfire the Musical, one of comedy’s most unforgettable characters springs to life onstage with wigs, outrageous disguises, plenty of heart, and a whole lot of theatrical chaos. Based on the beloved film, the musical follows Daniel Hillard, a struggling actor and devoted father who will do almost anything to remain close to his children, even if that means becoming their hilariously unconventional nanny, Mrs. Doubtfire. Beneath the laughs and larger-than-life antics, however, is a story about family, love, and the lengths we go to for the people who matter most. A talented ensemble brings that story to the stage, including Alanis Sophia, whose performance adds another memorable voice to this energetic musical world. With its blend of comedy, heartfelt moments, and infectious music, Mrs. Doubtfire proves that sometimes the most unexpected disguises can reveal who we really are. We caught up with Alanis Sophia to talk about what audiences can expect from this touring production! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Alanis Sophia talks about what it's like to step into a beloved world like Mrs. Doubtfire and how the musical has elevated the story of the Robin Williams-led film. With a singer-songwriter background and having grown up in the music industry, how do those personal experiences impact her role as Lydia Hillard? It isn't always easy to play a 15-year-old on stage when you're 25, so how does she find the truth in this character? Check out this fun interview to find out more!

  'Suffs The Musical' Story and Characters | The BSB Podcast

  Sep 22, 202631 min

  History can feel distant, separated by the expansiveness of time and the story on the page, until the lights come up and the people who changed it stand right in front of you. SUFFS the Musical brings the fight for women’s suffrage roaring to life with powerhouse performances, infectious music, and a story that refuses to sit quietly in the history books. But this is no dusty civics lesson. With its bold theatricality and contemporary pulse, SUFFS turns the struggle for women's right to vote into something immediate, emotional, and surprisingly exhilarating. The result is a musical that reminds audiences that progress has never been as simple as a date in a textbook; it has always been driven by people willing to speak up, push back, and demand to be heard. The power and strength of the story in this musical made it a must-have for the BSB Podcast! In today's episode, hosts Brian Kitson and RJ Miller-Zelinko are joined by special guest Emily Brown to discuss what the story behind SUFFS the Musical means to them. With both hosts having seen this before on Broadway, some more than once, they are able to provide an interesting perspective on what the show looked like in NYC compared to how it transitioned to a touring musical. Has the emotional journey that these characters go on changed at all? Find out in this fun episode of the BSB Podcast!

  Exclusive Interview Mackenzie Conn and J.R. Spaulding of Farmington Players' 'The Haunting of Hill House'

  Sep 22, 202620 min

  The lights go down, the silence settles in, and somewhere inside Hill House, something is waiting. Shirley Jackson’s chilling tale comes alive onstage in The Haunting of Hill House, a theatrical experience where atmosphere can be as terrifying as the ghosts themselves. With its creaking corridors, unsettling shadows, psychological tension, and ever-growing sense of dread, the play transforms the theater into a place where nothing, and no one, feels entirely safe. As the characters venture deeper into Hill House, the line between what is real and what is imagined blurs, creating a deliciously unnerving night of theater. This is the kind of production that doesn't simply ask audiences to watch the haunting; it invites them to feel it. Farmington Players is excited to welcome audiences into Hill House, and we had the chance to talk to the director of this production, J.R. Spaulding, and one of the cast members, Mackenzie Conn, about what audiences can expect from this show! In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Spaulding and Conn discuss what drew them to the production and how familiar they were with the world of The Haunting of Hill House before being cast. While the director approached the show with a clean slate, Conn has loved the original film for years. Which approach works best for bringing this world to life? How does a show such as The Haunting of Hill House come together technically? Check out this interview to find out!

  Episode #249

  Exclusive Interview: Rebeca Robles of 'Human Things'

  Sep 22, 202621 min

  In theater, there are moments when the lights come up, and a story doesn’t simply unfold; it grabs you by the collar and asks you to look a little closer at what it means to be human. That is the space Human Things inhabits. Now playing Off-Broadway, the production dives into the messy, emotional, and often unpredictable territory of human connection, where vulnerability can be as powerful as any grand theatrical spectacle. Among the performers bringing that world to life is Rebeca Robles, whose onstage presence gives the production an immediacy that is impossible to ignore. With every glance, pause, and emotional turn, Robles helps create a theatrical experience that feels less like watching characters from a distance and more like being invited into their lives. In Human Things, the emotions are close, the stakes feel personal, and Robles is right in the middle of it all, turning the ordinary complications of being human into compelling theater. While it's currently in previews, we sat down with the actress and producer to learn what it's like to bring Joshua Owen's play to life. In this exclusive BSB Insider interview, Rebeca Robles talks about what it's like to have a role written specifically for you, and how that led to bringing Human Things to the stage off-Broadway at the West End Theatre. She talks about her journey into the arts and how her husband, who is also the playwright, supported her in that adventure, and how it also helped shape some aspects of this play. What is it like to pull double duty as both actor and producer on a show? Check out this interview to learn more!
