Special Episode: The Casts of The Sweet Life

 

This week on Backstory Sessions, we bring together cast members from two productions of The Sweet Life: Story of Ruth Hunt—the Mount Sterling production through Gateway Regional Arts Center and the Barbourville production with Tri-County Mystery Meets.

 

Same story. Same characters. Two communities. Two casts. One sweet legacy.

 

In this special episode, we talk about bringing Ruth Hunt’s story to life, what the production meant to each cast, the moments that stayed with them, and how this Kentucky story has grown from the stage to an upcoming New York City performance.

 

Join us for a heartfelt behind-the-scenes conversation about storytelling, community, candy, creativity, and The Sweet Life.
