With two shows down, we stop by the city auditorium for this week's pickup rehearsal. Ella Grail and Sarah Van Dyk, two very misunderstood step-sisters, chat about courting royalty, parental shortcomings and foot reduction techniques.

We are at the City Auditorium and that can only mean one thing: Tech Week! The show opens Friday and Tom stops by the last tech rehearsal to talk with cast members, Liesel Reuel and Charlie Mortimer about the rehearsal road and the excitement of the upcoming performances.

Opening night is getting so close, and this week we check in with director Julia Feddersen and stage manager Aeven Briese to see we look back on the rehearsal process and what needs to be done before the curtains part on October 25.

This week Tom talks with STC's education director, Morgan Reetz about all of the exciting programs coming up. We talk about the Laffin' School Performance Lab, the Directing Crash Course and more.

On this week's episode of Theater Stories, we chat with Cinderella and her Stepmother, Maggie Van Dyk and Ilsa Briese. The discussion ranges from audition prep to opening night to why Cinderella still resonates in 2024. Enjoy the show!

It's halfway week for the cast and crew of Cinderella! On this episode, we get toes tappin' and hands jazzin' when we talk dance with choreographer, Makayla Schuler. We discuss the process of teaching 40 young actors to dance and hit their marks. Enjoy the show!

Today secret word is: Collaboration! We talk castles of foam with Cinderella's set/projection designer, Tara Gartin & set builder Keri Katz. It's an amusing conversation about the heart of what makes STC tick: working together.

On today's episode of Theater Stories we chat with Cinderella's music director, Elise Cameron to discuss her experience, the current state of rehearsals and the joys to be found in teaching kids to sing.
