The Kyle Petty Show

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!#theatre #theater #localtheatre #longislandtheatre #longisland #sagharbor #baystreet #dearevanhansen

Shea McMahon has apparently had beef with me for months and this only came to light when we shared the stage during A CHRISTMAS CAROL at CM Performing Arts Center - so I’m absolutely *chuffed* that she decided to spend some time with me on The Kyle Petty Show! Here’s a bit of what we chatted about:🎭 Everything Cats at CM Performing Arts Center! From her attachment to the show, to the rehearsal process, all the way to her inspiration for the set design!⭐️ Her experience performing for children and why it resonates with her👀 A bit about her experience thus far in Descendants at The Argyle Theater ❎ The disparity between how Children’s Theater performers are treated vs Mainstage performers 🎲 A little “This or That”🎭 Some favorite/funny theater memoriesYou’ll hear this in the conversation but my cheeks hurt after this one! I had an absolute blast and I’m so glad Shea has forgiven me 😂 thank you again for spending the time with me and thank you all for supporting The Kyle Petty Show and live theater here on Long Island! 💜#longisland #LongIslandTheater​ #theaterpodcast #LITheater​ #cats #cmpac #descendants #argyle #argyletheater #oakdale #babylon #theater #childrenstheater #kylepetty​ #thekylepettyshow​ #entertainment​ #goodvibes​ #goodtimes​ #personality​
