  • Backstage with Kaylin Kenders and Lauren Tateishi of "They're Getting Married Again?"
    Nov 19 2025

    Director Kaylin Kenders and Production Stage Manager Lauren Tateishi walks us through the fully student-run show "They're Getting Married Again?" which premieres tomorrow. The pair talks all about the comedy, their experiences, and...stunts?


    The show takes place ninety minutes shy of the renewal of vows for characters Avery and Madison. The maid of honor and organizer extraordinaire, Evelyn Adler, is sent into a tailspin as she tries to pull everything together for her best friend. Finding the groom unconscious proves to be the least of her worries as she deals with a missing priest, propaganda puppets and her mother to make sure everything is perfect - for better or for worse.

  • Backstage with Audrey Schnell, Director of 'It Pays to Advertise'
    Apr 4 2025

    Branching out from her CMA roots, Audrey Schnell walks us through her theatrical directorial debut of the classic American play, “It Pays to Advertise”. From funny moments in rehearsal, to overcoming the struggles of rehearsing without a set, Audrey gives us a peek backstage at what it was like to make this year's Torrey Theater play happen.


    Drama, romance, and good clean humor. “It Pays to Advertise” tells the story of a young man that sets out to prove to his father anything can be sold if you advertise it properly—even if it doesn’t exist. Problems arise when his advertisements are more successful than he ever could have imagined, but he has nothing to deliver.
