On today’s episode, Matt Tamanini is in conversation with director and choreographer Jennifer Werner and the dean of Point Park’s School of Theatre, Film and Animation, Kiesha Lalama. The pair are heading up a unique collaboration that has seen Werner lead a semester-long pre-production process for the new musical adaptation of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”
Point Park University students have been working with Werner and her team for over a semester on the show, and the world premiere run began on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at the Pittsburgh Playhouse.
In their conversation, Werner and Lalama talked about what they’ve learned from this unique partnership, what they hope the theatre and arts education worlds learn, and how incredible the students have been throughout this process.
The world premiere of “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” will run at Pittsburgh Playhouse’s PNC Theatre at Point Park University through Sunday, Nov. 22.
