This week on Curtain Call, we shine the spotlight on Jonathan Charles Fox—actor, journalist, photographer, radio personality, and one of the Catskills’ most passionate advocates for the arts. From his early days on stage and screen to his beloved column In My Humble Opinion and his adventures on Thunder 102 with sidekick Gidget, Jonathan has spent a lifetime telling stories and uplifting others. In this heartfelt conversation, he shares behind-the-scenes tales, his love for theatre, and the quiet joy he finds in capturing life through a lens. It’s a rare chance to hear from the man who’s usually the one telling everyone else’s story.

On this episode of Curtain Call, we shine the spotlight on Greenwood Lake Theater, an Equity professional company in Orange County, NY, co-founded by Katherine Weatherford and Mary McKinley. From Shakespeare in the park to bold new musicals and dynamic training programs, the company is redefining what regional theatre can be. We talk about their journey from NYC to the Hudson Valley, their upcoming production of Nevermore, their vibrant New Works Festival, and the unique role of music direction in shaping their shows.

Plus, in our Roving Thespian segment, we take you to the Forestburgh Playhouse’s hilarious season opener Boeing, Boeing—with a sneak peek at their next production, The Full Monty.

On this episode of Curtain Call, we journey into the heart of artistic experimentation with Brad Krumholz, co-founder and Executive Artistic Director of the North American Cultural Laboratory (NACL). From mythic storytelling and immersive rituals to cutting-edge residencies like The Outrage and digital explorations of the Orpheus myth, NACL is a creative force reshaping the boundaries of performance. We explore their mission, values, groundbreaking programming, and the vibrant community they foster in the Catskills. Plus, in our Roving Thespian segment, we take a peak behind the curtain as audience members share their comments on River Rep Theatre’s magical production of The NeverEnding Story.
