SLHS Stage Struck Podcast

How do actors memorize all their lines? And music? And blocking? This week we chat what works for us and all the tricks we employ to make it through a show!

We ring in 2026 and talk our final show of the season but with a catch: we can't say our most used words or else we go to the timeout penalty box.
