What happens when world-class theatre meets community impact? In this episode of The Brighter Futures Podcast, we sit down with Tivon Marcus, Vice President of Broadway In Boston and longtime champion of Rodman for Kids’ Theatre for Kids program.
From his own beginnings as a “theatre kid” inspired by his grandparents, to leading one of the most influential Broadway presenting organizations in the country, Tivon shares how the magic of live theatre can spark imagination, shape identity, and open doors for young people. Joined by Rodman for Kids’ Director of Programs, Bill Stiles, we dive into the power of partnerships, the educational value of the arts, and the joy of seeing kids experience the stage for the very first time.
As we approach a milestone buyout performance of Hamilton - where Theatre for Kids will celebrate impacting 100,000 kids since 2003 - this conversation is both a look back at what’s been built and a glimpse forward at what’s possible when we empower, connect, and uplift kids with the arts.

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. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
