In our first Local Entertaining podcast, WKTV Managing Editor Joanne Bailey-Boorsma sits down with Grand Rapids Civic Theatre Director Bruce Tinker, Choreographer Torrey Thomas, and actors Heather Cregg and Breighanna Minnema to discuss the recent production of “Mamma Mia!.”

Check out the podcast by clicking here or going to “Podcasts” on our home page.

In this podcast, the group talks about everything from auditioning to performing.

Tinker discusses about how Grand Rapids Civic Theatre is often looking at scripts five years out and in the case of “Mamma Mia!” had been considering it for almost 20 years. The company had a highly successful three-week run, adding two more shows to the schedule just to accommodate demand. Tinker noted they could have probably continued running the show for awhile.
