We may be a few days late, but it’s Pride all month!

At Spotlight 814, we believe great theatre happens when everyone has a seat at the table, a voice in the room, and the freedom to be exactly who they are.

We’re proud to celebrate the LGBTQ+ artists, audiences, and community members who make our local arts scene stronger, more vibrant, and more creative every day.

You matter!

Our first official Spotlight 814 Book Club is coming in July!

We’re kicking things off at with Oh, Mary!, the completely unhinged Tony-winning play about Mary Todd Lincoln, written by someone who knows nothing about Mary Todd Lincoln, Cole Escola.

It’s also our first event as an LLC, which feels like a pretty damn good place to start.

Come hang out, talk theatre, drink coffee, and help us start building what Spotlight 814 is becoming.

We’re more than just an award-winning podcast now.

It was Professor Plum in the lounge with a lead pipe.

Allegedly.

This week on Spotlight 814, Ryan Dawley and James Wallace sit down with Kyle Yampiro, who plays Professor Plum in Clue on Tour, coming to Erie’s Warner Theatre May 27 and 28 with Broadway In Erie.

Kyle talks about making his national tour debut, auditioning from a cruise ship cabin while performing in Hairspray, the surgical timing of comedy, life on the road, and why Clue is basically 75 minutes of pure theatrical insanity with murder weapons.

If you love the movie, the board game, Broadway callibre performances, theatre stories, or just want to hear what it’s like to wear the Plum suit every night, drop what you're doing and listen to this interview.
