Backstage with Brough

What does theatre look like… from the other side?In the very first episode of Backstage with Brough, I’m sitting down with my good friend Michael Pensa—a dedicated drama parent who’s seen it all from the audience, the car rides, and the late-night rehearsals.We talk about what it’s like to support a student in theatre, the moments parents don’t always get to see, and how the experience impacts families just as much as the performers on stage. From behind-the-scenes sacrifices to proud spotlight moments, this episode brings a perspective that often goes unheard—but is absolutely essential to the story.Whether you’re a student, parent, or theatre lover, this is your all-access pass to a different side of the stage.Welcome to Backstage with Brough—let’s head backstage.
