This week on Spotlight 814: Erie's Local Theatre Podcast...

Stars of the current production of Newsies at the Erie Playhouse, Anthony Nunez and Dylan Vergotz, join Ryan at CAM Erie!

Listen for FREE on www.spotlight814/podcast or on Spotify, Apple Podcast, or anywhere you get your pods!

We discuss how Anthony and Dylan got their starts in the theatre world, Dylan’s choreography woes, his incredibly supportive mother, their favorite parts of the show, and shoutouts to the cast, crew, and orchestra. 

We also beg the question, what’s the deal with musical characters wanting to move to Santa Fe?

There’s TWO Joe Pesci’s and a Bob Gaudio in the studio as we discuss Jersey Boys at the Playhouse and the Academy Theatre. We work on getting a sponsorship from Snickers by playing Joe Pesci’s Snickers commercial, because you’re not yourself when you’re hungry. 

You may recognize Dylan and Anthony from the viral success of Dusk: The Musical, the Twilight parody musical by Morgan Kennedy that played at Gannon’s Schuster Theatre and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last year. 

For the first time on Spotlight 814, Ryan reads an excerpt from the subreddit, “Am I the Ass****?” about a disruptive audience member at the Broadway production of Six. You don’t want to miss this discussion!

We take our Werner Books Coffee Break, thanks to our wonderful sponsors!

Ryan brings you our What's On 814 segment, detailing all the incredible theatre happening in Erie, Meadville, and Franklin!

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life.
