David Cregan came to Summer Stage in 1982 after his freshman year at Bonner. He fondly remembers Nancy Santamaria influencing his love of dancing, claiming that West Side Story was a remarkable experience. He went on to major in Musical Theatre at Villanova University. David received advanced degrees from Catholic University and Trinity College. David lived in New York City and performed professionally until he felt called into the priesthood, joining the Augustinian order in 1993. Father David now wears two hats at Villanova as Chair of the Theatre Department and the Associate Dean of the College of Professional Studies.

Jeff Boadwin joined Summer Stage when he was 13 years old. The opportunity to perform onstage was a dream for a blind person. The artistic staff adapted their methods so Jeff could act, sing, and dance in several Childrenâs Theatre productions. When Jeff was a pirate in Peter Pan, the costume designer created two eye patches for him to wear for a funny moment in dress rehearsal. After graduating from Overbrook School for the Blind, he attended Neumann University and Villanova University. He works as a child psychologist for Psych Choices of the Delaware Valley. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .

Amanda Snarski joined Summer Stage as an apprentice in 1995 and proudly performed in several "T-shirt shows" (among others) until 2001. Amanda participated in Mainstage, One Acts, Cabaret, Dance Troupe, and Shooting Stars and worked as a staff member in the box office from 2000-2003. She enthusiastically remembers her Summer Stage days, but somehow she forgets to mention that she played Wendy in a non-flying production of Peter Pan. She attended Wagner College in Staten Island. In 2014, Amanda re-joined the staff as an assistant director for Mainstage, coordinator for Director's Workshop, and eventually directed for Children's Theater in 2016. With nearly 20 years of experience as a teaching artist in the Philadelphia area, she now resides in Lancaster County where she continues to pursue her passion for theatre education at the Fulton Theatre.

Hello, everybody. Iâm Bob Falkenstein. Iâm sorry if you thought you would hear a new episode of Brave and Strong and True. The show has been going strong for two years. This marks the second episode of its third season. We have 69 episodes engaging alumni of all ages. People tell me Monday is their favorite day of the week because they can hear a new episode. To continue to bring you new content every week I need your help. Please consider being a guest or please recruit guests for me. The process is so simple. If you know anyone who was already a guest, please ask them what they thought of the experience. Iâm sure you will hear about a pleasant experience. I will need you for about 60 minutes. Weâll connect online using a service called Boomcaster using a desktop or laptop computer running the latest version of the Google Chrome Browser. They just updated the program so you can connect from a tablet or smartphone. And hereâs the best part: I can interview multiple guests from five separate locations. If you have concerns about interviewing alone, come along and have some fun with a group of your friends. Think of the possibilities! Plan a mini-reunion for the Annie orphans, share the episode with former castmates from an iconic childrenâs theatre cast, or join your siblings to share your familyâs Summer Stage experience. The possibilities are endless. All are welcome. You can reach me at [email protected].
In the absence of a new guest, I decided to run our first encore presentation. I selected this particular episode since it holds the record for most downloads. This encore presentation originally dropped on August 15, 2022 and my guest is the fabulous Jackie Ostick.
My guest is Jaskie Ostick. Jackie joined Summer Stage in 1998. She started out small, but as her confidence grew she took on bigger roles. She became a member of The Shooting Stars and a staff member. After graduating from De Sales University, she moved to New York City where and performs professionally around the country. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so, come along and have some fun. . .Jackieâs website

Vince Leonard has a different Summer Stage journey from the rest of us. His genius spans many realms in the world of professional music as an educator, orchestrator, librarian, and arranger. In 1981, he heard Summer Stage was preparing Sentimental Journey, an evening of music from the big band era. Vince possessed many arrangements that helped the already incredible-sounding band raise the bar, performing with authenticity from earlier decades. The results led to incredible performances that remain legendary. Vince was part of the production team that recorded and produced Summer Stage compact discs. He has a long association with the Philly Pops Orchestra and continues to teach at the college level. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .

Gerri Smith Weagraff is âOld Guardâ Summer Stage. Her wonderful portrayals of classic musical theatre characters remain treasured in our memories. From 1977 to 1980, Summer Stage was the only place where Gerri performed. It was where she spent her summers while home from college, and she says it truly served as the foundation for her life onstage and off, developing such qualities as teamwork, commitment, respect, confidence, and much more. Musical theatre has always been a family affair for Gerri, for she has performed on stage with her parents, her husband, and their children. Early in her professional career, she was a radio announcer for local stations in South Jersey and Wilmington, Delaware. Since the mid-80s, Gerri has performed with many Summer Stagers at other theaters in the tri-state area, and she cherishes the bond we all share. While in her fifties and sixties, Gerri found amazing opportunities with the national touring companies of A Fiddler on the Roof and Anastasia. I interviewed her from her hotel room in Jackson, Mississippi, where she is traveling with the national touring company of My Fair Lady. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .

I interviewed Steve Smith during our recent Christmas break since we are both teachers. He grew up in Highland Park and went to Bonner. Steve joined Summer Stage in 1981 when he turned eleven and thrived in the Childrenâs Theatre program. He fondly remembers the opportunity to be a pirate. He went to Villanova University for his first degree and earned his Masters at American University. He now teaches Social Studies at Downingtown East High School. I hope you enjoy our conversation, so come along and have some fun. . .
