| 5/11/26 |  POTUS: Theatre On The Edge | Send us Fan Mail A farce can be silly, sharp, and still feel like a mirror, and POTUS pulls that off in a way that had us laughing while also nodding a little too hard. We sit down with director Paige and cast members Mary and Ren from Chino Community Theatre’s Theater on the Edge Festival to talk about why Selina Fillinger’s POTUS is more than a “day in the White House.” For us, it becomes a story about the work women do, the credit they do not get, and the way communities survive by taking ... | 33m 51s | ||||||
| 5/11/26 |  Dead Man’s Cell Phone: Theatre On The Edge | Send us Fan Mail A phone rings in a cafe. A stranger answers. And suddenly a whole life gets rewritten in real time. That’s the haunting spark behind Dead Man’s Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl, and we can’t stop thinking about how accurately it predicts the way modern technology shapes our relationships, our attention, and even our grief. We’re joined by director Melissa Bossard and cast members Lauri Deards, Mark Agars, and Saverio Guccioni to talk about building this production for the Theater on... | 34m 40s | ||||||
| 4/20/26 |  Don Lugo High School: Beetlejuice Jr. STTS Drama Department | Send us Fan Mail Beetlejuice Jr is a big, weird, high-energy musical and the Don Lugo Theater Company is using it to show what student performers can really do when a school backs the arts. I’m joined by Don Lugo director Candida Celaya, alumni-turned-VAPA specialist Andrea, and student leaders Bella (Lydia) and Jesse (Beetlejuice) for a candid conversation about building a high school theater program that keeps growing in the Inland Empire. We get into the origin story of the department and... | 49m 08s | ||||||
| 4/5/26 |  Full Monty, Full Heart | Send us Fan Mail A musical about six unemployed steel workers who decide to strip for cash sounds like a punchline until you look closer. We’re staging The Full Monty at Chino Community Theater, and what keeps surprising us is how much heart sits underneath the laughs: pride after a layoff, fear about providing for family, friendships that turn into lifelines, and the messy work of rebuilding confidence when life knocks you flat. We sit down with our director Toni and cast members Just... | 36m 35s | ||||||
| 3/9/26 |  POTUS Eleve Theatre Company: STTS IE | Send us Fan Mail A president we never hear. Seven women we can’t ignore. We sit down with Eleve' Theater Company to unpack the whiplash world of POTUS by Selina Fillinger, a ferocious farce where doors slam, spin cycles faster than the news, and the people holding power together aren’t the ones at the podium. Melissa, the director, shares why art should unsettle and how this script spotlights women leading from the shadows—strategizing, firefighting, and finding solidarity under pressure. We... | 43m 19s | ||||||
| 3/2/26 |  Peter Pan Jr.: Where Hook Has Layers And Peter’s Kind Of A Jerk | Send us Fan Mail What if Neverland isn’t a place you fly to but a world you build together? We’re pulling back the curtain on our reimagined Peter Pan Jr., where the nursery anchors reality and the stage reshapes itself with moving blocks into forests, ships, and hideaways. That design choice isn’t just clever staging; it’s a manifesto about how play transforms what we see and how young actors can hold a complex story with honesty and joy. We dive into the heart of the concept by turning lig... | 31m 18s | ||||||
| 2/20/26 |  Lost Girl: Wendy After Neverland | Send us Fan Mail What if the story didn’t end at the window? We sit down with director Debbie and cast members Sophie (Wendy), Evangeline, Jandy, and Gavin to explore Lost Girl, a daring, female-forward play that follows Wendy Darling’s life after Neverland. Instead of chasing pixie dust, we trace the quiet shock of coming home: the disbelief of others, the ache of a promise never kept, and the courage it takes to reclaim a voice that was written off as a side note to Peter’s legend. Debbie ... | 25m 55s | ||||||
| 2/10/26 |  Chino Hills HS Theatre: STTS Drama Department | Send us Fan Mail Courage looks different under stage lights. We sit down at Chino Hills High School’s theater to unpack how a training-first program turns nervous auditions into confident performances, and how a tight-knit ensemble carries each other through missed cues, costume malfunctions, and the rush of opening night. With director Kerry Rupe at the helm and students Anthony, Drake, Angie, and Shelby sharing the mic, we trace real journeys from backstage to center stage—and the life skil... | 36m 49s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 |  The Ghost Train rides into CCT | Send us Fan Mail A storm rattles the windows, the timetable is no comfort, and a ghostly locomotive refuses to be just a rumor. We’re bringing Arnold Ridley’s The Ghost Train to life with a bold 1930s aesthetic—think noir shadows and comic-book color—that turns a small station into a pressure cooker where fear and wit trade jabs. Sage Patel walks us through the vision: why an old thriller still lands today, how a tight room can hold thirteen distinct voices, and why the train itself must feel... | 40m 27s | ||||||
| 12/5/25 |  Steampunk Christmas Carol On Stage: STTS IE | Send us Fan Mail This holiday story gets new gears. We sit down with the Riverside Community Players team bringing a steampunk A Christmas Carol to life—complete with in‑the‑round staging, layered costumes, and a cast that looks and sounds like Riverside. From the first “God bless us” to the final curtain, the conversation uncovers how a first-time director balances reverence for Dickens with the courage to reimagine the world he wrote. We talk through Sage’s path back to the stage, the deci... | 29m 34s | ||||||
