Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Discover A New Musical with Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz (Penelope)
Q: Was there a song or scene that flowed easily versus one that drove you crazy during writing?
Several major songs emerged naturally from the writer's personal experiences, while one particular number, Lose My Mind, became a persistent head-scratcher due to the delicate balance of meaning, humor, and character development, requiring careful lyric adjustments over years.
Discover A New Musical with Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz (Penelope)
Q: What was the impetus for writing the show in the first place?
The impetus came from the pandemic period, during which quarantine inspired long-distance relationships and a prolific period of composing on the piano, eventually leading to a conceptual album that expanded into a full show with collaboration among the trio.
Discover A New Musical with Alex Bechtel, Grace McLean and Eva Steinmetz (Penelope)
Q: Were you always into musical theatre growing up, or did you discover it later?
The guests discuss a lifelong affinity for theatre, with Alex noting an early love around age ten and Grace describing a deep engagement with the form from early in life, which evolved into a focus on both performance and creation of new works.
Wanna See A Musical with Kaor Limi, Jessica Corkal, Eloise Federer & Alec Freilich
Q: What made you choose this show in particular over anything else?
The producers explain they wanted a funny show with a small cast that allows for improvisation and greater audience involvement, which led them to Spelling Bee as an ideal fit for community engagement and actor growth.
Discover A New Musical with Susan Cinoman And Maia Sharrp (You Are Mine)
Q: Who are you in 30 seconds?
Oh my goodness. Well, my name is Susan Cinoman. I'm a playwright and a television writer, and I have written some plays that have been adapted for the screen, including work on The Goldbergs where I created a character, Miss Cinnaman, the drama teacher.
