🎭 This Week on Spotlight 814: Erie’s Local Theatre Podcast! 🎭

Hold onto your pieholes, because this episode is packed! Ryan takes the stage at CAM Erie with none other than Kyle Filbeck, aka Dr. Pomatter in the Erie Playhouse’s upcoming production of Waitress! 🥧  Opening night is this Friday, and trust us, you won’t want to miss this sweet slice of musical magic.

Kyle and Ryan spill the beans on the Waitress rehearsal process, the show’s jaw-dropping music by Sara Bareilles, and all the reasons you need to grab your $18 premiere weekend tickets. Oh, and did we mention the pre- and post-show fun at Cafe 710 and Room 33? Because YES. 🎶🍹

Plus:

  • Ryan Reads Reddit: Someone dared to throw shade at Wicked on Reddit, and Kyle is not having it. Cue the drama.
