    Host Yvette Monique Clark welcomes music director John Bronston for an in-depth conversation about the many roles a music director plays in theatre—from casting and vocal arranging to collaborating with directors, orchestrators, and performers.

    John reflects on his journey from performer to Broadway music director, discusses the growing importance of actor-musicians, and shares his philosophy on adapting music to fit performers rather than forcing performers to fit the music. The conversation also explores audition culture, rehearsal room dynamics, and the importance of protecting joy in the creative process.

    A thoughtful and inspiring look behind the curtain at the artistry that brings musical theatre to life.

    Broadway costumes do far more than dress performers—they tell stories, define characters, and help bring productions to life.

    In this episode of Enter Stage Left, host Yvette Monique Clark welcomes Broadway costume professional Justin for a conversation about his journey from Ohio community theatre to New York's theatre scene. Justin discusses discovering costume design in college, navigating career setbacks, interning at Juilliard, and rising through the ranks to become an associate costume designer on major productions.

    The episode also explores the differences between assistant and associate costume designers, how costume departments operate, and the collaborative process that brings a show's visual world to life.

    A must-listen for theatre lovers, aspiring designers, and anyone curious about the artistry happening behind the curtain.
