Merging Visual Artistry with Performing Arts

In this enchanting episode of Footlights, join our hosts Chris Hicks, Tristan Tapscott, and special guest Jason Platt as they plunge into the captivating realm of theatre, puppetry, and graphic novels. From the intoxicating aroma of greasepaint to the thrill of a live audience, the hosts highlight how the high school stage often serves as the starting point for many aspiring actors. Building on experiences that range from first-time auditions to mastering verbiage such as "stage left" and "stage right," Platt reflects on the euphoria that often accompanies the theatrical "bug." They also discuss the often overlooked significant role of supporting characters, establishing that every role, however small, is vitally important in theatre.
