BroadwayWorld.com is very excited and proud to present our newest video offering which showcases a wonderful video series - In the Wings, produced by the American Theatre Wing.

Are you one of those people who studies the extensive list of names at the back of the Playbill when you see a show, wondering who they are and what they do? Then In The Wings is for you. Focusing on the people who are almost never in the news but who are essential to the making of the shows we all see and love, In The Wings explores the talents and stories behind the scenes, explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on the many disciplines that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.

Casting Director Tara Rubin talks about the casting process, working with the director and creative team; her career beginnings at Johnson & Liff casting the original company of Les Misérables, and seen here holding auditions for its 25th anniversary tour; the excitement of casting a variety of shows; and how the biggest challenge is replacing celebrities.

This edition of In The Wings was made possible by the generous support of Laura Maslon.
