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 all are and what exactly 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, from the costume and scenic shops to the rehearsal room to the stage itself, with designers, artisans and craftspeople explaining their unique contributions to theatrical art in their own words. These short videos shine the spotlight on disciplines you may not even realize are a part of theatrical production and celebrate the full diversity of talent that contribute to bringing a show to the stage.

Carin Ford
Sound Engineer Carin Ford ensures the sound design of a production is transparent to audiences while effecting the mood and feel of a show. Ford traces her career from her early interest in music, to meeting and working with Lily Tomlin, to numerous Broadway productions. Ford explains how mixing a new show requires observing rehearsals before adjustments can be made during run-throughs, incorporating notes from the director, designers, and music team. Ford walks us through her daily routine at La Cage Aux Folles to check the sound system, so she is prepared for any problems that may arise.
This edition of In The Wings was made possible by the generous support of Judith Ann Abrams Production and Marketing.
