| 6/22/26 | ![]() S2E18 - In the Spotlight with Romeo and Juliet | As You Mic It: In the Spotlight turns its attention to Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy of young love, family conflict, and lives changed in an instant.In this episode, Artistic Director Jason King Jones sits down with Maya Jean and Austin Nedrow, the actors portraying Juliet and Romeo in this summer’s production. Their conversation explores the experience of stepping into two of theatre’s most recognizable roles, the process of building trust and connection as scene partners, and the challenges of bringing fresh life to a story audiences often think they already know.Together, they discuss their first encounters with Shakespeare, the work of finding their own path through these characters, and the emotional and physical demands of performing one of the canon’s most celebrated plays. Along the way, they share stories from rehearsal, reflections on collaboration, and what it means to create a Romeo and Juliet that belongs to this company, this moment, and this audience.Host: Jason King JonesGuests: Maya Jean, Austin NedrowAYMI: Suzanne O'Donnell returns to PSFAYMI: Romeo and Juliet - PrologueRomeo & Juliet at Pennsylvania Shakespeare FestivalMentioned in this episode:Become an Underwriter Today!Contact podcast@pashakespeare.org for more information.Collaboration makes great theatre!Become a supporter, today! https://pashakespeare.org/support/Single Tickets on Sale Now | — | ||||||
| 6/15/26 | ![]() S2E17 - In the Spotlight with The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged | As You Mic It: In the Spotlight heads into the witty, whirlwind world of The Complete Works of Jane Austen, Abridged, a fast-paced celebration of one of literature’s most beloved authors.In this episode, we sit down with actors Madeleine Garcia and David Pica to talk about bringing Austen's characters, themes, and enduring appeal to life in a production that is equal parts tribute, comedy, and theatrical mischief. Their conversation explores the passionate world of Janeites, the challenge of condensing Austen's novels into one evening of theatre, and the joy of creating a show that welcomes devoted Austen fans while delighting audiences encountering her work for the first time.Together, they discuss the art of adaptation, the fun of playing multiple roles, and why Austen's stories continue to resonate more than two centuries after they were written. From literary devotion to theatrical chaos, this episode offers a lively look behind the scenes of one of the season's most playful productions.Hosted by: Jason King Jones, Connie BehringerGuests: Madeleine Garcia, David PicaMentioned in this episode:Become an Underwriter Today!Contact podcast@pashakespeare.org for more information.Collaboration makes great theatre!Become a supporter, today! https://pashakespeare.org/support/Subscriptions for the 2026 Summer Theatre Seriespashakespeare.org/tickets/ | — | ||||||
