Exciting things are happening at Horizon Youth Theatre!

Tonight, HYT sat down with the Stage Door podcast to talk about all the big changes coming to the organization. From new leadership to a fresh approach in educational philosophy, HYT is entering a brand new chapter, and it’s one you’ll want to be a part of.

We covered it all: the upcoming season, new classes and workshops, expanded opportunities for young artists, and what this new era means for students and families. It’s not just a theatre program, it’s a reimagined space for creativity, growth, and community.

Summer Stock is making a vibrant return to Toledo, and we’re here for it. In this episode, we talk with Max, Sophie, and Casey about their upcoming production of The Last Five Years and why this moment marks more than just another show, it’s the exciting rebirth of Summer Stock theatre in the city.

We dive into what drew them to this powerful two-person musical, what audiences can expect, and how this production is helping reignite a long-standing theatrical tradition in Toledo.

Show Dates:

July 31 – August 2 @ 7:30 PM

August 3 @ 2:30 PM

This week on the pod, we’re hitching up the wagon and heading west—with chaos in tow. Join us as we chat with the cast and crew of The Trail to Oregon!, presented by I Hate This Stupid Bike Productions. Based on the cult-favorite musical from Team StarKid, this choose-your-own-adventure comedy follows one wildly dysfunctional pioneer family through pixelated peril, unexpected songs, and audience-decided doom.

We go behind the scenes of the 8-bit-inspired mayhem, meet the actors bringing it to life, and unpack how this interactive frontier story turns a nostalgic computer game into a full-on theatrical adventure. Hear what it’s like to die onstage (multiple ways), sing through dysentery, and keep a straight face while the audience picks who bites the dust.

Starring:
John Toth • Angelina Crawford • Nat Merriman • Sage Ryan • Esteban Vega • Dylan Haught

One family. One wagon. Infinite bad decisions. Let’s go to Oregon.

This week on Stage Door, we’re heading to Westerburg High for a darkly hilarious deep dive into Stone Productions’ upcoming performance of Heathers: The Musical! Join us as Director Jaymes Gregory Mull and lead cast members Maggie Titus (Veronica), Kale Scarberry (JD), dish on the show's killer comedy, cult status, and why this production is anything but ordinary.

From iconic lines like “I love my dead gay son” to powerhouse vocals and razor-sharp satire, this episode captures the creative energy driving this bold, unapologetic take on high school hierarchy gone haywire.

Performances run at the historic Collingwood Arts Center in Toledo, OH:

• Fri. July 18th, 8:00 PM

What happens when your favorite book starts speaking back? We sat down with two cast members and the assistant director from Rossford Drama’s upcoming production of Between the Lines—the Broadway musical based on the novel by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer.

In this episode, they share what it’s like bringing this whimsical, heartfelt story to the stage and why Rossford Drama continues to be one of the most connected theatre communities around.

The musical follows Delilah, a high schooler who escapes into a fairytale world—only to discover the prince inside her book might be just as real as she is. With a contemporary pop score and a story full of humor, heart, and imagination, Between the Lines explores what it means to write your own story, even when life doesn’t follow the script.

Performances are July 11 & 12. Tickets available at the door—don’t miss your chance to step between the lines!
