Good Morning Marco

The monsters are taking over Marco Island!Jordan Kraley and Ryan Sullivan welcome writer, director, producer, and longtime Marco Island theatre educator Gina Sisbarro back to Good Morning Marco for a conversation about the 2026 Y-Theater Summer Camp, Sisbarro Acting Studio, and the next generation of local performers.This summer, young actors will bring Gina’s brand-new original comedy, “Monster Take-Over,” to life. Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, the Wolf Man, witches, vampires, and other classic monsters have discovered that they are no longer frightening. After two teenagers refuse to take them seriously, the monsters gather to reclaim their “spook factor”—and decide to take the parents hostage until their demands are met!Y-THEATER SUMMER CAMPCamp Dates: July 27–31, 2026Camp Hours: Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–5:00 PMFinal Performance: Saturday, August 1 at 1:00 PMLocation: Wesley United Methodist ChurchDirector: Gina SisbarroProduction: “Monster Take-Over”Cost: $165 for YMCA members / $195 for non-membersREGISTER FOR THE CAMP:https://operations.daxko.com/Online/5032/ProgramsV2/OfferingDetails.mvc?program_id=TMP26154&offering_id=SES1490808&location_id=B97In this episode, Gina shares how the idea for “Monster Take-Over” developed from her love of classic monster movies, horror-comedy, and the question of what actually frightens younger audiences today.The conversation also explores the history and future of youth theatre on Marco Island, including the YMCA’s elementary theatre programs, the Marco Island Charter Middle School Theatre Club, Sullivan Saturdays, Sisbarro Acting Studio’s MainStage productions, and the many former students who have carried their theatre experience into acting, production, education, design, public speaking, and other careers.Gina, Jordan, and Ryan discuss the creative process behind Gina’s original plays, the importance of giving young actors room to improvise, the unexpected moments that become permanent parts of a production, the challenges of directing live theatre, and the lasting confidence, communication skills, friendships, and memories that children gain from performing.They also somehow develop a plan to revive the Beanie Baby market by creating an extremely exclusive Beanie Baby fur coat. Donations of unusual costumes and potentially thousands of unwanted Beanie Babies may now be inevitable.LEARN MORE ABOUT SISBARRO ACTING STUDIO:https://sisbarroactingstudio.com/FOLLOW CURRENT CREATIONS:https://www.instagram.com/currentcreationsfl/FOLLOW CURRENT ON MARCO ISLAND:Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/current.on.marco.island?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591939410014VISIT GOOD MORNING MARCO:https://goodmorningmarco.com/FOLLOW RYAN’S PROJECTS:https://ryanmsullivan.com/THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY MARCO OFFICE SUPPLYMarco Office Supply has supported Marco Island, Southwest Florida businesses, local theatre, and young performers for decades.
