🎙️ This week on Spotlight 814: A TRIPLE THREAT of comedy, chaos, and corn 🌽 

We’re taking you behind the scenes of three wildly different, and wildly entertaining shows currently lighting up stages across the region: 

🕺 The Producers at the Academy Theatre in Meadville, PA
🛡️ Spamalot at Barrow-Civic Theatre in Franklin, PA
🌽 Shucked the Musical at Playhouse Square in Cleveland, OH

🎭 Hotsy-totsy Nazis, knights in tights, and the most surprisingly aMAIZEing musical we've seen in a minute. 

This episode has it all:

🌟 Cast interviews and rehearsal stories with our guests from Spamalot, Chelsea Armstrong (Lady of the Lake) and Andrew Ritsig (Patsy), and co-host Brenna Thummler, currently in the ensemble of The Producers!

🌽 Our new partnership with Playhouse Square in Cleveland

👀 Theatre etiquette drama (Reddit-style)

🎭 A tribute to Mel Brooks and Monty Python’s legacy of laugh-out-loud musicals 

🎟️ Brenna returns with "Fun Facts with Brenna" and "What's On 814?" featuring every show and audition happening now and in the near future in and around Erie.

✍️ Spotlight 814 and PACA are teaming up for an Original Works Weekend, June 19-21. Submissions for short plays and one-acts are open now!
