In The Wings is a a new online, backstage video series focusing on the people who are almost never in the news but who are essential to the making of the shows we all see and love. The program explores the talents and stories behind the scenes, from the costume and scenic shops to the rehearsal room to the stage itself, with designers, artisans and craftspeople explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on disciplines many may not even realize are a part of theatrical production and celebrate the full diversity of talent that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.
The first four editions of In The Wings, online now and also available on iTunes, spotlight Animal Trainer William Berloni (Legally Blonde), Stage Manager Martha Donaldson (The Bacchae), Costume Designer Carrie Robbins (Irving Berlin’s White Christmas) and Projection Designer Jeff Sugg (33 Variations). Upcoming editions, which will be released every two weeks, include Make-up Designer Angelina Avallone (Rock of Ages, The Little Mermaid), Dialect Coach Stephen Gabis (The 39 Steps), Dance Captain Greg Graham (Billy Elliot) and Fight Director Rick Sordelet (The Royal Family, Superior Donuts) and much more.
