Speaker 1 (00:00):
Joining me in studio today at the beginning of the
cast of Rent. And we're so happy that they're here
performing at the Marion Palace Theater August twenty third, twenty fourth,
and twenty fifth, Friday and Saturday at seven thirty Sunday
two o'clock matinee for Rent and Kirk Dettweiler and Carter
rollins in with us today. Kirk, You've got a wonderful
show coming. Rent is unbelievable. Talk about the show man.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I always say Rent, you know, to people that are
younger than me. Rent was the Hamilton of the nineties.
It was Hamilton or Rent was like the show, the
show to go to. It's just amazing. I was lucky
enough to see the original production four times. In the nineties.
I spent a lot of time in New York City,
and if I had some time off, I went to
(00:45):
tkts and got cheap tickets and I went to see Rent.
And the funny thing about it, I do remember because
it won all the awards. It won Tony Award Best Musical,
it won Pulitzer Prize for Drama. So I go a
couple of times. I went, and it was funny. I
probably shouldn't say this, but I noticed that there were
a lot of like old time theater goers to see
(01:07):
Rent because it won the best Music all At intermission,
anybody over the age of sixty five.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Left, Oh wow, Okay, probably.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Because it was too loud. Yeah, because it was it's
rock music, and they they rocked the house. But it
is such a powerful show. Now, don't let me scare
anybody away from that. We don't get that loud at
the Palace Theater. But it is rock music and it's.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Just a powerful, powerful.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
Production, and it's the music is fantastic, and it's It's
like one of my all time favorite shows. I've always
wanted to do it. I actually I when I was
like thirty when it came out, I'm like, I want
to play Mark someday.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
So when Dustin Rowlins, he actually came to me when
you know, we're putting the season together, and he wanted
to do a musical called Bonnie and Clyde, which which
kind of came and went on Broadway. I mean musical
theater buffs, no, but it wasn't any big hit or anything.
And he said, well, if you don't want to do
Bonny Clyde, how about Rent, And I'm like, okay, because
he wanted to do He actually wanted to do Rent
(02:09):
in the pavilion, right like we did Next to Normal
in the pavilion. And actually the board said, no, that
is a big show. Nobody knew Next to Normal, so
you could get away with doing it. But everybody knows Rent. Yeah,
you have to do it in the theater. So we're
doing it in theater.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
It's unbelievable. Rent, as you know, won Tony Awards Pulitz Surprises,
unbelievable masterpiece, and it is focused around the lives of
young artists. And it's unbelievable that you have been able
to with Dustin and everybody assemble a cast of young,
vibrant artists from this area. Kirk. That fits the show
(02:49):
so perfectly. I know.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
But the one thing I did tell Dustin, I said,
you can do Rent as long as you don't mind
having a sixty two year old Mark, because Mark was like,
you know, out of that show, that's like probably the
only character I could play. But it's like, I don't know,
it was me at age twenty eight.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Well, Kirk, I have bad news for you. I know,
Carter is playing Mark. I know.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
How are you eighteen? He's eighteen.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, he's getting ready to start college in the next
week or so. Carter talked about the show and why
you wanted to be in it with your dad obviously
directing a mom as a vocal director, it's probably something
you grew up with. Yeah, household, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
So my dad said that we were doing the show.
I got very excited because I love the music of
the show. I love the meaning of the show. But
I found out the dates and I move into college
the Wednesday of Tech week.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Oh wow.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
So I was like, uh, I don't know. But this
year our choir went to New York City and I
went to the Museum of Broadway and I got this bag,
and like, you get a different bag for every purchase
you get. I made two purchases and both of them
were rent bags.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Something was talking about me.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Something in my head was just like, I have to
do this show. So I talked to my parents, I
talked to my people at Otterbyne, and I'm like, is
there any way that I can do the show? Like
I love this show so much? And They're like, yes,
absolutely good. So I'm so excited to be playing the show.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
It's kind of exciting to make sure that Kirk is
not playing the role in You Are. That probably helps
me too.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
But honest, the cast is amazing. I'm so lucky to
be working with the people. I'm working with Olivia who
played Ariel, he's playing me me amazing Tanner. I love Tanner.
I haven't done a show with him in a while,
and being next to him this entire show is such
an honor and it's pushing me to be the best
me I can be good. Michael's amazing, who plays Angel.
(04:43):
Everyone is amazing. Just getting all these people from Columbus
and different areas surrounding Marion is amazing and I'm so
happy we're able to do that.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Yeah, and it's like, so we're talking. You talked about
Olivia Livia, Well, she played Ariel and the Little Mermaid,
the Little Mermaid, and now she's playing a stripper. So yeah,
it's a strip it's a new show, I mean, but
she is just so versatile that she's gonna pull it
off like Gangbusters.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I can't wait.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
I'm getting goosebumps.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Well, it's going to be a great show once again.
It is rent and it'll be at the Marion Palace
Theater on the Big Stage August twenty third and twenty
fourth at seven thirty August twenty fifth, that Sunday at
two o'clock Mattinee. You can get your tickets now at
Marionpalace dot org. Ticket start at sixteen dollars. And Kirk,
I know you and I have talked about this more
than a few times. When you came to the Palace Theater.
(05:35):
You promised to do some shows like this that are
a little bit edgy, that we want to make sure
that the people that are coming to the show understand
what the show is and what the content is and
where we're going to be. And so far on the
shows that you guys have put out there that have
had that edgy ness, that grit that people have come out,
(05:55):
they've responded to the show. They're going to come out
and see Rent. It's a great show. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Even when my interview for this job, the board, the
executive committee who would interviewed me, has said the direction
they wanted to take the theater, they kind of discovered
they were missing a key demographic people not coming to
the theater, and that was couples in their twenties thirties
and forties who did not have kids. There was there
(06:21):
was really nothing for them. It was either like old
time rock and roll or kids shows. So that was
my goal is to get that demographic that was not
coming to the Palace and give them something without compromising
what the Palace is known for, which is family friendly entertainment.
We still do all the kids shows, we do Christmas
(06:42):
at the Palace, the big summer musical is always family friendly.
But we kind of found a niche the last couple
of years when Dustin Rowlins wanted to do Next to
Normal last year, which if you didn't see it, it's
just an incredible and very incredible show. You know, it's
about you know, mental health issues and a family falling apart,
(07:03):
but it's great music and it's a wonderful story. Again,
that musical won the Pulitzer Prize. And by the way,
it was directed by the same guy who directed Rent, Yeah,
Michael Grife. So yeah, so you know, we found that
we found the niche and we had people who had
not come to the theater and younger theater goers who
don't want to see Beauty in the Beaster. You know,
they've seen Little Mermaid, so you know they'll come and
(07:25):
see Rent, So we're we're going for that demographic that
did want something a little edgy or a little something
that they'd have to go to Columbus to see.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Well and Carter like in Next to Normal, you were
able to see an audience that you didn't necessarily see
every day you're on stage. With everything you've done in
the last eighteen years of being on stage, that had
to be exhilarating and exciting for you as a volunteer performer.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
No.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Absolutely, When we did Next to Normal, it was such
a different crowd and such different reactions, like we just
finished Little Mermaid. Yeah, and there so many kids and
they like I love kids and I love seeing them happy.
But having this new audience who sees eye to eye
with me and the people around me more is such
(08:13):
a like cool thing to be performing in front of.
Especially getting ready to do this professionally. Getting to see
the different sides of what theater is going to be
on stage and off is so amazing.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right. Yeah. When we went to when the show opened
last year, and my wife and I were there on
opening night, we were both very very happy with the
crowd that was there and how they felt and and
and really became part of the emotion of the show
and everything. I mean, you had to be there. Really
was an experience for every person in the crowd. I
feel Rent's gonna be the same way, and Rent is
(08:48):
way more familiar than that. I think people I agree
with you, Kirkna. They're gonna come here to see Rent
because of what it is, and I think it's gonna
be fantastic.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yeah, I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Yeah, so you want us got some sponsors and things
like that. I know, the Ohio Arts Council helping you out.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Yeah, we just got a big, two big grants from
the Ohio Arts Council, almost fifty two thousand dollars.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But yeah, they gave us money every year and they're
co sponsors of pretty much every show that we do.
We also have the Marrior Community Foundation is a couple
of their funds are funding Rent, and also the Marion
Area LGBTQ Plus Coalition is a co sponsor of the
show as well.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Good and I also see the National Endowment for the
Arts has a logo on the poster as well, so
they help out to get this type of a show
to the audience.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
That's what Yeah, that's in the contract. See, the Ohio
Arts Council gets their money from the National Endowment of
the Arts. Okay, I understand, So it's in the contract
that we have to put them both.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
But good.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I'm not downplaying it, but we do appreciate them. But
that's why they're always on supposter, because we have to
put it there.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Yeah, Marinpalace dot Org is where you go to buy
your tickets sixteen, twenty seven and twenty nine dollars. I
would get them in advance, so you know the seats
that you're going to have. You can always stop out
at the box office tell Rick and the staff. I said, hello,
and get your tickets for rent August twenty third, twenty fourth,
and twenty fifth at the Palace Theater. Anything else you
wanted to talk about Kirk that we got going on?
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Can we plug some future shows?
Speaker 1 (10:19):
No, you're not allowed. Well gosh yes please.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Well you know what, we have a Taylor Swift sing
along tribute show on September eighth, which is Sunday three o'clock,
the day after the Popcorn Festival closes. We figure every
little girl from age six to twenty five is going
to be in the in the Palace Theater on September
eighth for Taylor Nation yep. And we've got a Pink
(10:42):
Floyd tribute on September twenty seventh. Of course, we just
have our having auditions this weekend for The Lion King Junior,
which Christy Wink is directing, Olivia Brazil is choreographing, and
that'll probably feature sixty to eighty young kids from the
Marion area. And that'll be the first weekend of October.
The Lion King Junior.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
