This week on Backstage Pass, we’re putting on our leather jackets and sliding into a Grease-filled weekend at The Strand! Taylor and Camilla take you through everything coming up June 5–11—from live theatre and lounge music to organ concerts and sensory-friendly screenings.

🎭 In Spotlight on the Stage, we preview the high-energy production of Grease, live performances in the Lumiere Lounge, and a Toy Story 2 screening that’ll bring out your inner kid.

🎙 Backstage Banter takes us to Wilmington, North Carolina, where Camilla just returned from the North Carolina Presenters Consortium. Learn how acts get booked at The Strand and what’s coming next.

❤️ In this week’s Mission Moment, Camilla and her 17-year-old son Jonah share his story of stepping up—literally into the drummer’s seat—and saving the show when the pit orchestra lost a player moments before curtain. It’s a beautiful reminder of how community, courage, and creativity come together on our stage.

📅 And in Mark Your Calendar, we spotlight two upcoming events you won’t want to miss:

• If You Only Knew… – A one-night-only cabaret on June 26
• Comedy at The Strand with AGT semi-finalist mind-reader Peter Antoniou on June 27

🎧 Whether you’re a theatre buff, a local Marietta neighbor, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode will leave you inspired, smiling, and maybe even ready to dance in the aisle.
