    Calling the Cues: Stage Manager Powerhouses Take The Roundtable
    May 4 2026
    On this episode of The Roundtable with Robert Bannon, we’re shining a spotlight on the women who quite literally keep the show running. From calling cues to managing chaos, these stage management leaders are the heartbeat of the productions we love. Aura Michelle (You Got Older), Katie Girardot (My Joy is Heavy at New York Theatre Workshop), pau (Spread at INTAR Theatre), and Christina M. Woolard (Cold War Choir Practice at Manhattan Class Company) join us for an inside look at the artistry, leadership, and precision it takes to thrive as a stage manager today. From backstage stories you never hear to the real-life juggling act of people, tech, and timing, this conversation is a masterclass in what it means to lead from behind the scenes. We talk breaking into the industry, navigating high-pressure environments, and why stage managers are truly the unsung heroes of theater. Whether you're a theater kid, a pro, or just love a great story—this one is for you.

  • Brooke deRosa Brings Bold New Musicals to NYC Stage!

    Brooke deRosa Brings Bold New Musicals to NYC Stage!
    May 3 2026
    Brooke deRosa is having a major moment—and New York audiences are about to experience it firsthand. The multi-hyphenate composer, lyricist, and director is behind a dynamic double feature of original musical comedies, Gunfight at the Not-So-OK Saloon and Does Not Compute, arriving for a limited run this May. Known for her ability to fuse classic musical theater traditions with modern storytelling, deRosa delivers two wildly different yet equally engaging pieces that explore love, identity, and human connection through humor and heart. From a delightfully offbeat Western filled with Gilbert & Sullivan-style wit to a near-future tale of robots learning what it means to feel, deRosa’s work spans genres while staying grounded in emotional truth. With a background that includes composing for film, conducting for television, and premiering works at major venues like Carnegie Hall, she continues to carve out a unique space in the industry. These new productions not only highlight her versatility but also reinforce her mission: to create bold, joyful, and thought-provoking musical experiences that resonate with today’s audiences.

    Rhonda Shear Is Back—And She’s Bringing “Up All Night” Into a New Era!
    May 3 2026
    Rhonda Shear is officially back—and she’s not just revisiting the past, she’s reinventing it. The iconic host of USA Up All Night has launched a brand-new Roku destination, the Up All Night Network, bringing fresh episodes, classic vibes, and a whole new generation into her signature late-night world. Roku viewers can now dive into new content alongside the nostalgic chaos that made her a cult favorite in the ’90s, with programming that blends comedy, horror, and that unmistakable “sizzle kiss” energy. But Shear’s story doesn’t stop at the screen. Long before “influencer” was a word, she built a global fashion empire with her intimate apparel line—becoming a powerhouse on HSN and redefining comfort and confidence for millions. Her brand, including the wildly successful Ahh Bra, has sold worldwide and helped cement her as both a business icon and a voice for women embracing every stage of life. Now, she’s balancing it all: streaming pioneer, fashion mogul, and the same fearless entertainer who kept audiences laughing all night long.
