Noah Colvin & Lilly Pritchard of the 2023 Triangle Rising Star Awards
Last month, the 2023 Triangle Rising Star Awards took place at the Durham Performing Arts Center. This regional competition brings together high school musical theater students from Central and Eastern North Carolina to perform and compete for the chance to represent the Triangle in The National High School Musical Theater (otherwise known as The Jimmy) Awards in New York City on June 26th. The national competition celebrates outstanding student performances in high school musical productions from all over the United States. Shortly after the Triangle Rising Star Awards, I had the great pleasure of going backstage at DPAC to interview both of this year's winners, Noah Colvin of Enloe High School and Lilly Pritchard of Heritage High School. The two of them discuss their experiences with this year's competition, their excitement for the Jimmy Awards, and more.

Remembering Ben Lipitz (1964-2023) of Broadway's THE LION KING
Back in 2016, the national tour of THE LION KING played a month-long engagement at the Durham Performing Arts Center in Durham, North Carolina. Prior to that, I was able to interview actor Ben Lipitz for BroadwayWorld by phone. At the time, he was in the show as Pumbaa, a part he played for more than 6,000 performances through both the tour and Broadway productions. Ben recently passed away on April 18th at the age of 58. So what I decided to do is share with all of you the aforementioned interview. I've also included a snippet from a conversation I had with the tour's head carpenter at the time, Billy Kimbley, as the show was loading into DPAC a few days before the run began.
Ben Lipitz's previous stage credits included RED, HOT, AND BLUE (Goodspeed Opera, Papermill Playhouse); JUST SO (Goodspeed Opera); ART; DIRTY BLONDE; LAUGHTER ON THE 23RD FLOOR; A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM; Cleveland Playhouse, Kennedy Center, Walnut St. Theatre. TV: THE SOPRANOS, LAW & ORDER, 100 CENTRE ST., HOMICIDE. Film: THE GIRAFFE and FIND ME GUILTY (directed by Sidney Lumet).

95th Academy Awards Preview
The 95th Academy Awards are almost here! They’ll be taking place on Sunday, March 12th at 8PM on ABC. To prepare you all for Hollywood’s biggest night, Jack Mahanes and I will be going through all 23 categories and give some quick predictions for who or what we think will win. Keep in mind that at the time of this recording, the Writers Guild of America (which went to EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE and WOMEN TALKING) had not yet chimed in with their award winners. So some of what we discuss in this particular podcast is probably dated by now.
