The Ghost Light Effect

JFK and Inga Binga

After a long hiatus, The Ghost Light Effect is back! We're shifting our focus a bit for this season to give some behind-the-scenes insight on our current productions. In this episode, we interview Julian Wiles, Eliza Knode, and Raymond Conley about JFK and Inga Binga, an original comedy written by our very own Mr. Wiles. The play explores a little-known episode in John F. Kennedy's life that takes place right here in Charleston.

This Podcast is Not Legal Advice

Join us in our Season One Finale episode as we talk to Karen Spain and Andrew Bentz. Karen and Andrew are alums of our youth programs, and both are now practicing lawyers. Listen as they help us demystify the law (at least a little bit) and tell us about their journeys from the stage to the bar. This is our last episode of The Ghost Light Effect for a little while, but please stay tuned to this feed for behind-the-scenes interviews with actors, designers, directors and crew throughout Charleston Stage's upcoming 44th season!

Coastlines and Communities

This month's guests are doing very different work - Hadley helps chart US waterways with NOAA and Mark works in humanitarian aid and public health - but they both spent their high school years right here at Charleston Stage. We talked about big world issues and personal memories of finding a place to fit in.

Doctor, Doctor!

This episode's guests are Dr. Emily Harkins and Dr. C.T. Grayson. Both participated in Charleston Stage's Wings program, and both went on to medical school at Tulane. They're now practicing doctors, Emily in Emergency Medicine and C.T. in General Surgery. They spoke to us about their path to becoming doctors, doctor-patient communication, which medical TV show is the most realistic, and more!
