- Behind the Curtain: 15 Years of Zoetic Stage with Co-Founder Stephanie Demos Gregg M. Goldfarb 21:09
How do local theater companies shape the communities they call home? What role does art play in building connections, sparking creativity, and enriching our lives?
In this Cut to the Chase: Podcast, we’re joined by Stephanie Demos, President and Co-Founder of Zoetic Stage, Miami’s not-for-profit, professional theater company. We invited Stephanie to showcase the beauty of Miami’s theater scene and share how fostering local arts can transform neighborhoods, inspire individuals, and create lasting cultural impact.
Besides her significant role in the Miami theater scene, Stephanie is also an accomplished civil litigator! But even more fascinating—her theater company’s productions have roots in original talents like her husband, Christopher Demos Brown, whose play ‘American Son’ debuted on Broadway, featuring Kerry Washington (and now streams on Netflix)!
Join us as Stephanie shares insights on founding a theater company, supporting local talent, and the unique challenges and triumphs of keeping the arts alive in Miami.
