As You Mic It: In the Spotlight welcomes PSF favorites Maboud Ebrahimzadeh and Cassia Thompson for a conversation about the collaboration that brings great theatre to life.

This episode explores the trust and chemistry actors build in the rehearsal room, the joy of working with director Matt Pfeiffer, and the creative process behind Ken Ludwig's Moriarty. Maboud and Cassia share how an ensemble tackles the play's fast-paced twists, larger-than-life characters, and theatrical sleight of hand while keeping the story grounded in genuine connection.

Whether unraveling a mystery or navigating Shakespeare's tragedy, their conversation celebrates the artistry that happens when talented people create something together.
