Stars in the House, the daily live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, ponders the question, "What makes a show?" August 26.
Guests include Nederlander house manager David Calhoun, associate general manager Stephen Spadaro, casting director Xavier Rubiano, and violinist Jorge Avila. Says Rudetsky, "We’re showing all the various types of jobs who can be helped by the Actors Fund."
