Ya'll. I had the best time on stage during The Kyle Petty Show Live at Theatre Three discussing the importance of arts education with Jules Greaves and I'm wildly excited to share this in-depth conversation with you!

In this episode, we discuss the importance of storytelling and technique in singing and how she works with people of all ages (...ish haha) to discover the link between the two via High C's Vocal Studio, which she owns. This was such a fun conversation because she highlights the importance of finding the right teacher and approach to help each student find their voice - pun fully intended!

Thank you so much to my new friend Jules for joining me. Check out everything she has going on via her Instagram @highcsvocalstudio!

Scott Schwartz on Reimagining Dear Evan Hansen and Bay Street Theater's Milestone 35 Year Anniversary!

This time around, I sit down with SCOTT SCHWARTZ, Artistic Director of Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, as the iconic East End theater celebrates a landmark 35th anniversary season!

Scott gives us an exclusive look at directing Bay Street's bold, reimagined production of the Tony Award-winning phenomenon Dear Evan Hansen. We talk about what it takes to strip down a massive Broadway hit for an intimate stage, bringing out the raw humanity and emotion in the story, and why this show still resonates so deeply today.

Plus, Scott reflects on 35 years of artistic excellence at Bay Street Theater—how the institution has evolved, what makes Sag Harbor audiences so special, and what lies ahead! Whether you already have your tickets for Dear Evan Hansen or love hearing how legendary regional theaters operate behind the scenes, you won't want to miss this conversation!

Thank you to Scott and Bay Street Theater for making the time to make this happen!
