When was the last time you visited the world of Dr. Seuss? This brilliant author has been bringing magic to children for almost a century, with over 60 published works featuring some of the most iconic characters in existence. From The Cat in the Hat to the Grinch, and every Who down in Whoville in between, there's no denying the impact Dr. Seuss and his creativity had on our childhood. While the author himself may no longer be with us, the legacy of his works continues, both in print and other forms of media and entertainment. OnOurOwn Productions is bringing to Fraser, Michigan, the musical that brings the world of Dr. Seuss to the stage, Seussical, and we recently spoke with one of the stars of the show, Cora Steiger!

In this Box Seat Babes exclusive interview, Steiger talks about what it's like to step into the world of Dr. Seuss and play a character such as JoJo to life. She talks about what challenged her in this production and how one of the most rewarding aspects of this show is getting to work with her father. What is her favorite song to perform? What drew her to wanting to be in Seussical? What's her current dream role? There's so much to explore in this fun interview!

There's nothing we love more than a theatre that's willing to push the boundaries with the shows they're telling, creating a unique experience for audiences.

In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, Cody Barger explains what makes Black Comedy such a unique show in the theatre landscape. He explores how the use of light and darkness has pushed him in his craft, and how pretending not to see his other cast members while interacting with them on stage has been the biggest challenge of this production.
