Few musicals capture the highs and lows of being a performer quite like Michael Bennett’s A Chorus Line. Set during a grueling Broadway audition, the show follows a group of dancers fighting for a coveted spot in the titular chorus line.

Last week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Henderson to speak all about the illustrious Macbeth. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Getting […]

You have to be ambitious, and then you will actually put your effort into making those things happen, even if you don’t have the money, even if you don’t have the time—the end result will be so much better than if you just want to play it safe.”
Nic Lindegger is ready to leave the nest.
After working as Evalyn Parry’s assistant director on two shows in 2024—first Erin Shields’ Paradise Lost for the DAN School Drama Major, then the independent debut of Sophia Fabiilli’s Why It’s imPossible—Lindegger is spreading their wings as a solo director.
