Are you one of those people who studies the extensive list of names at the back of the Playbill when you see a show, wondering who they all are and what exactly they do? Then In The Wings is for you. 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, In The Wings 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 you 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.

Theatrical dialect coach Stephen Gabis talks about his craft and how he started by listening to his Irish-Lithuanian family and early television; why he describes The 39 Steps as "an aerobic dialect event"; Gabis works with actor Eric Hissom on multiple characters; and how a knowledge of phonetics provides a basis for individual styles of speech.
