In this episode of Big Broadway Energy, host Stephen Riordan sits down with actors and musicians Tristan Brayboy and Morgan Tapp, stars of American Stage’s newest Beyond the Stage production The Magi—a heartfelt, music-infused reimagining of O. Henry’s classic The Gift of the Magi. Filled with warmth, humor, and real behind-the-scenes insight, this episode offers a beautiful look at collaboration, artistry, and the creative heartbeat of Tampa Bay’s theater scene. The Magi runs December 4–21 at American Stage. Stephen, Morgan, and Tristan explore the creative process behind this intimate, acoustic, actor-musician piece featuring an original script by Helen R. Murray and a stunning score by Eli Pasic. Together they discuss:
  • How The Magi blends concert energy with deeply emotional storytelling
  • What it’s like to build roles and musical arrangements from the ground up
  • The unique freedom (and nerves!) of working directly with the playwright
  • Their roots in the St. Pete arts community and returning to American Stage
  • How music enhances their presence, performance, and emotional truth
  • Why art matters, especially in challenging times
