🕺 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:

🌽 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.
