Kate Trefry is a key creative force behind Stranger Things. Joining the show as a writer in Season 2, she's been with the series for over seven years, and her work has helped shape the mythology, tone, and lore of the town of Hawkins — and all of its beloved (and haunted) inhabitants.Her latest venture takes the franchise into uncharted territory: the stage. Kate wrote Stranger Things: The First Shadow, a theatrical prequel set in 1959 Hawkins that blends psychological horror with jaw-dropping effects.The First Shadow is one of the most incredible theater experiences I've ever had — its a mind-blowing fusion of stagecraft, horror, and storytelling that feels like witnessing real magic unfold in real time. So if you're in New York City or London's West End, run — don't walk. This show absolutely blew me away.In this episode, Kate gets into her career history, including her ten-year struggle in Hollywood after which she was making snowcones before landing the writing gig of a lifetime on Stranger Things. She also dives into her collaborative process with the Duffer Brothers and the extremely challenging, grueling, and fascinating experience of adapting Stranger Things to the stage.On today's episode of The Nick Taylor Horror Show, here — without further ado — is Kate Trefry.Key TakeawaysIgnorance is bliss.Despite having written for Stranger Things for over five years, Kate had never written a play before — and that turned out to be an advantage. Unburdened by the typical constraints of stagecraft, she approached The First Shadow like she would an episode or film: big set pieces, impossible visuals, cinematic pacing. Instead of limiting her vision, the creative team encouraged it — telling her to write whatever she wanted and leave it to them to figure out how to make it work live. The result is a show that doesn't just adapt Stranger Things for the stage — it redefines what live theatre can do.There is no writing, only rewriting.Throughout the development of The First Shadow, Trefry wrote hundreds of drafts. During the workshop and preview process, she sat with live audiences, watching for moments when people shifted, coughed, or lost focus — then made adjustments accordingly. Kate believes the magic starts to happen around draft six — when emotion, structure, and theme finally begin to align. Her process always involves discovery through multiple rewrites, often transforming scenes completely from their original form. For her, the key is getting to the end of your first draft as quickly as possible — so you can start rewriting. And then rewrite again. And again.Authenticity opens doors.Kate's path to Stranger Things began not with a polished pitch, but with brutal, unfiltered honesty. After years grinding in Hollywood, she took a call with the Duffer Brothers and told them point-blank that “Hollywood is a cesspool” and “writing is a nightmare” — not exactly go-to lines for landing a job. But to her surprise, they loved her candor. That authenticity — combined with clear talent — landed her in the Stranger Things writers' room the following week. The takeaway: showing up as your real self, especially in an industry full of rehearsed personalities, can resonate more than trying to be what you think others want.Show NotesMovies DiscussedStranger Things (Netflix)Stranger Things: The First Shadow (West End & Broadway)Behind the Curtain: Stranger Things The First Shadow (Documentary)Game of ThronesThe ShiningHarry PotterLord of the RingsBooks & ProjectsSave the...

Writer, Producer, and Filmmaker Nicholas Ma joins us to talk about his latest documentary titled "Leap of Faith". In today's episode we explore the unspoken topics that often divide communities and underscore the universal quest for mutual belonging. The participants in the documentary were invited to meaningful dialogue around race, homelessness, and socioeconomic disparities, but the conversation they returned to over and over again was about sexuality. Even through uncomfortable disagreements, the documentary helps the viewer notice the relevance of love and empathy, the power of small actions to create positive change, and the profound effect of being seen and acknowledged by others. Read more about Nicholas Ma HERESee the trailer for Leap of Faith HEREContact Cyndi Parker through Narrative of Place.Join Cyndi Parker's  Patreon Team!

Send us a text! We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show.Hey there, Writer—this week on The Resilient Writers Radio Show, we're diving into something so many of us wrestle with: how to get that first draft down… faster. And more importantly—without all the agony.I'm joined by Daphne Gray-Grant, who brings a lifetime of experience to the writing process. She grew up in her family's newspaper business, later worked as a senior editor at The Vancouver Sun, and somewhere in the middle of all that, gave birth to triplets! If anyone understands writing under pressure, it's Daphne.In this episode, Daphne shares how she went from struggling with writer's block to developing powerful tools to help writers draft more quickly and confidently. One of the biggest shifts she teaches? Start small. Like, five-minutes-a-day small. We also talk about the deep psychology behind why writing feels so hard sometimes—especially for those of us who love editing more than drafting (hi, I see you!). Daphne explains why school doesn't prepare us for the emotional challenges of writing and offers simple, mindset-shifting strategies to help you work with your brain, not against it.One of her favorite tricks is ending your writing session with a few quick notes for tomorrow—so when you return to the page, you're not wasting time wondering what comes next. That little shift can make a huge difference.We also had a great chat about mind mapping, which Daphne has adapted into an incredible tool for writers. Instead of just putting a topic in the center of the page, she suggests starting with a question. This sparks creativity and helps you move past the blocks that outlining often creates. I've used this myself in my poetry, and let me tell you—it works wonders.This conversation is packed with practical advice that's gentle, doable, and grounded in real-life writing experience. If you're someone who wants to finish that draft but keeps getting stuck, I think you'll find a lot of relief—and inspiration—here.

Welcome to Coffee House Coaching, where great conversations are brewed one powerful question at a time. I'm your host, Gary Nowak, and each episode is caffeinated by 8 thought-provoking, no-fluff questions designed to tap into the Coaches insight, impact and inner work of their practice. Today's guest is Steph Balzer “From Journalism to Coaching: Finding Voice, Holding Space, and Staying Human.”  Steph B. brings her diverse background as a poet, journalist, and nonprofit leader into her dynamic coaching style.She works primarily with clients from mission-driven sectors such as higher education, fundraising, and the arts.Her approach is rooted in metaphor and language, helping clients explore deeper emotional insights.Steph navigates the delicate balance between encouraging client growth and respecting their readiness.She emphasizes the importance of sitting with discomfort—both her own and her clients'—to foster deeper connections.A key takeaway: “When calling someone out, call yourself in,” emphasizing humility and shared human experience.Through coaching, Steph has reclaimed her voice, especially in traditionally hierarchical professional settings.

‘Late Night with Seth Meyers' writer Jenny Hagel has spent the entirety of Donald Trump's political career writing and telling jokes that ride a precarious line between funny and offensive. But the difference between Hagel and Trump's anti-woke comic crowd is that she only ever targets her own demographic. In this episode, Hagel breaks down her and Amber Ruffin's long-running “Jokes Seth Can't Tell” segment, including how they got Hillary Clinton to join in after losing the 2016 election and why they are able to get away with outrageous punchlines that could get people with the wrong intentions canceled. She also discusses how ‘Late Night' has changed during the second Trump term, reveals some secrets behind Seth Meyers' popular “Day Drinking” bit, shares her reaction to NBC's decision to kill ‘The Amber Ruffin Show,' and teases her live comedy show ‘Jenny Hagel Gives Advice' in which she bolds tells audience members how to live their lives.

What if becoming a parent actually made you MORE creative, not less?Writer and "book therapist" Heidi Fiedler discovered something surprising: when life became more demanding after she became a mom, her creative drive didn't disappear. It intensified. "I had less time, less energy when I became a mom, and yet I wanted to keep writing. It felt more important to me than ever."In this deeply personal conversation, Heidi reveals why the pressure to write fast is killing our creativity and how embracing the "messy, dreamy early stage" is where the real magic happens. As someone who coaches writers through the emotional rollercoaster of creating, she knows that your biggest writing challenge isn't finding the perfect plot twist—it's surviving the mental game.You'll discover:Why "slow progress is still progress" (and how to stop comparing yourself to Stephen King)Practical techniques for staying connected to your writing when life is chaoticThe surprising truth about writer's block and what's really happening in your brainHow to navigate the agent-finding maze without losing your soulWhether self-publishing might be your secret weaponWhy one genuinely moved reader matters more than a thousand followersHeidi takes us on an unexpected journey through Substack communities, the universal plague of creative doubt, and her game-changing philosophy: focus on the joy of creation, not the outcome of publication.The most powerful moment? When Heidi shares why sometimes all you need is one reader who truly connects with your work. That single connection can sustain your creative flame through the darkest moments of doubt.Perfect for writers at any stage, parents juggling creativity with family life, and anyone who's ever wondered if their creative dreams are worth pursuing.Have a comment?
