It's a night of songs and conversation with KEVIN SPIRTAS as they discuss three important moments from his work on stage and screen, including his time as Hugh Jackman's standby in The Boy from Oz and long tenure in the daytime drama “Days of Our Lives”. They'll also dive into personal setbacks and professional challenges Kevin has faced as both an actor and producer. It'll be a rare but honest behind-the-scenes look into the life of a talented artist sharing experiences and thoughts from the heart on what it really means to "make it" in this business.
Why I’ll Never Make It podcast was created in 2017 to explore the reasons actors and creative professionals don’t succeed and foster honest conversations of the day-to-day struggles in the entertainment industry. Interviews range from such notables as *NSYNC's Joey Fatone and Caitlin Kinnunen from Broadway’s The Prom to everyday actors, composers, directors, and teachers. They all share a common theme of how hard this business can be, yet each of them share their passion for the arts and what keeps them going through all the ups and downs. As the old song goes, “There’s no people like show people, they smile when they are low.” Listeners will certainly find laughter and inspiration from the stories and experiences shared on this podcast.

TOTALED: A NEW MUSICAL
By Richard Eyler, Tyler McCall, and Janeen Garcia
7:00pm / Tickets begin at $19
Totaled was originally conceptualized by ex-averno creator RICHARD EYLER (Averno’s Bittersummer) who wrote the lyrics and book with music by TYLER MCCALL (Swan Lake Rock Opera). The piece follows the last night Clay saw his long time ex-friend and ex-partner Paige as they hang out together in their hometown of Pluto, PA for the first time in four years. Their desperation was enough to bring them back to one another, but is it enough to keep them from falling apart all over again? The piece explores queer identity from the perspective of someone who embraces it and someone who hides from it; ultimately peeling back the layers of what it means to be a young queer person in modern day America with a supernatural twist.
Produced by RICHARD EYLER and ALI REGAN. Director - DANIELLA CAGGIANO. Musical Director - NEIL MCLINDEN. TYLER MCCALL - “Clay”, Music. RICHARD EYLER - “Paige” Librettist & Lyricist. LIZA-ANNE FRANCISCO - “Marisol”. LISSA CARANDANG SWEENEY - “Angelica”. JUSTINE VERHEUL - “Jenny” Femme Vocalist. Pianist - KYLE ERIC BOARDMAN. Guitarist - NEIL MCLINDEN.
