Neil Berg's latest musical The Sabbath Girl: The Musical, written with book writer/co-lyricist Cary Gitter, just finished an incredible, sold-out run at The Penguin Repertory Theatre (directed by Joe Brancato), before transferring to NYC for a six-week summer run Off-Broadway at 59 East 59th Theaters to rave reviews.

The 12 previously ran at The Denver Center to unanimous rave reviews and won the 2015 HENRY Award for best new play or musical. Original Cast recording will be available in the winter of '24. Broadway opening anticipated in 2025/2026 season.

Charlie Hustle will have its first developmental production in Detroit, Michigan in the fall of '24. Neil is the composer for the popular musical version of Grumpy Old Men: The Musical, based on the Warner Brothers movie classic starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, which had its official U.S. Premiere at The Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine to rave reviews, and La Mirada Theater in LA, starring Cathy Rigby.

The New York Times raved that The Prince and the Pauper "[soars] on wings of theatrical fun." The original cast CD is released internationally on Jay Records, sheet music published by Hal Leonard, and licensing by Samuel French Inc.

Alright, horror hounds! Tom Holland here, ready to dish out the spine-tingling details of Act 3 in our Fright Night 40th Anniversary Cast Reunion Table Read. Buckle up, because this is where it all comes to a head! Picture this: We've got Charley and Peter Vincent, unlikely allies, sneaking into Jerry's lair as the clock ticks toward dawn. The tension's so thick you could cut it with a fang! Our heroes are searching for Amy, but Jerry's got more than a few tricks up his sleeve. We're talking bat transformations, a basement showdown, and Amy caught between two worlds. Peter Vincent finally gets his mojo back, but is it enough to take down a centuries-old vampire? And let me tell you, the special effects team outdid themselves with Jerry's final moments - it's a pyrotechnic spectacle that'll have you shielding your ears! But here's the kicker, folks - just when you think it's all wrapped up in a neat little bow, we've got a stinger that'll make you question everything. Is evil truly vanquished, or is it just waiting for another invitation? This finale is my love letter to classic horror, with nods to the greats like Hammer Films and Universal Monsters, but with that unmistakable 80s flair. It's got heart, humor, and enough scares to keep you checking under the bed for weeks. So grab your crucifixes, garlic, and headphones and settle in for a finale that'll remind you why Fright Night has stood the test of time. After all, everyone's entitled to one good scare, right? Stay spooky, and remember - the night belongs to the undead! Tom https://terrortime.shop/ https://www.fiorscotch.com/ - Delicious!

Hey there, fright fans! Tom Holland here, and boy do I have a treat for you with Act 2 of Fright Night 40TH Anniversary Cast Reunion TABLE READ. We're cranking up the terror and the stakes as young Charley Brewster's vampire troubles go from bad to worse. Picture this: Our hero Charley, desperate for help, turns to washed-up actor Peter Vincent, the "Great Vampire Killer." But Peter's lost his nerve along with his TV show. Meanwhile, Jerry Dandrige, our seductive bloodsucker, has his sights set on Charley's girlfriend Amy. Things really heat up at a pulsing nightclub where Jerry puts the vamp moves on Amy. It's a dance of death, folks, with Charley caught in the middle. And just when you think it can't get worse, Charley's pal Evil Ed falls victim to Jerry's fangs. We've got stakes, crosses, holy water that isn't so holy, and a showdown brewing that'll leave you breathless. Peter Vincent finds his courage, but is it too late? Amy's caught in Jerry's thrall, and dawn is approaching fast. It's a rollercoaster of horror, humor, and heart-pounding suspense that'll make you think twice about inviting strangers into your home. Stay tuned for Act 3, where it all comes to a fever pitch. This is the kind of horror that'll make you sleep with the lights on! Tom https://terrortime.shop/ https://www.fiorscotch.com/ - Delicious!

Hey, there, horror hounds and fright fans. Tom Holland here, ready to take you on a journey back to where it all began - Act I of Fright Night 40TH Year Cast Reunion TABLE READ You've seen this before, but trust me, you haven't experienced it like this. With Mark Hamill stepping into Roddy McDowall's shoes as Peter Vincent, and the electric Rosario Dawson joining Christopher Sarandon and our beloved original cast, we're breathing new life into this classic tale of suburban terror. And in this podcast - you're right there with me, in the room LIVE with Chris, Bill, Mark, Rosario and the whole Fright Night family. They delivered a performance so damn good, it was almost as frightening as the vampires themselves. In Act I, we set the stage. We introduce you to Charley Brewster, your average American teenager with an above-average problem - his next-door neighbor might just be a bloodsucking fiend. It's a delicate balance, between the mundane and the monstrous. We start with the ordinary - high school, homework, hormone-driven makeout sessions - and slowly, insidiously, let the extraordinary creep in. It plays on our deepest fears. Not just of vampires, but of not being believed, of being alone in the face of unspeakable evil. It's Stephen King's Loser's Club meets Rear Window, with a dash of hormonal teenage angst thrown in for good measure. As you listen, pay attention to the little details - the way the tension builds, the way disbelief slowly gives way to dawning horror. Listen for the chemistry between our cast, both old and new. It's like lightning in a bottle, folks, and we've managed to capture it again after all these years, just for your ears; electrifying your mind with a masterful soundtrack designed just for you, just for this story! We share laughter, stories, and outtakes - it's like your ear is pressed to the studio door, eavesdropping on icons reanimating an iconic story - my iconic story, at that. As Stephen King might say, we're not just telling a story, we're opening a vein and letting it bleed all over the microphone. So come on in, the bite's fine. Buckle up, turn out the lights, grab your earbuds because when that sun goes down and Jerry Dandrige bares his fangs, you're in for one hell of a ride. Welcome back to Fright Night, for real! Tom https://terrortime.shop/ https://www.fiorscotch.com/ - Delicious!

Stacey Harkey, formerly part of the original cast of BYU TV's Studio C, is our guest today! He is known as an actor, writer, personal trainer, and for his involvement with Diversity Equity and Inclusion training and consulting in Equality Utah. Stacey shares his journey as a black and gay convert to the LDS Church. He navigated code-switching between Mormonism and Baptist culture, eventually questioning the Church's teachings about race. Returning to BYU after serving a mission to Brazil, he finally felt more comfortable and accepting of his identity. Stacey advocates for understanding and nuance, emphasizing that anger is not an effective way to create change. His story of self-discovery and resilience offers hope and inspiration to those facing similar struggles. Episode Show Notes Youtube Link Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!
