true. “Motown” became my first original Broadway cast recording, and it was nominated for a Grammy. It was my first principal role on Broadway.

How do you take on a role that is a real character versus a fictional one?

With Smokey Robinson, specifically, I was lucky in that his voice is so specific. He has a speaking tone and dialect because he comes from Detroit. I really had to tap into his sound because you can’t play Smokey and not sound like Smokey Robinson. I had to tap into his voice, his mannerisms and the way he speaks. I listened to a lot of his interviews.

How did your show, “Smokey & Me,” come about?

It’s been something that’s been on my mind for a very long time. I also toured with a singing group called The Doo Wop Project, which has now turned into 80-plus gigs a year. I’ve always wanted to do a Smokey show that tours like this, but I’ve never had the time because when I’m not doing a book musical, I’m touring with my group. The pandemic really made me sit down and have the time and the luxury of time to try and figure out the show finally.

I really got to craft it in the way that I wanted to and get together with the

Podcast

(Continued from 13)

She began building her career as a high school English teacher in Richmond and Petersburg city schools in Virginia.

“I was able to choose material that was specific to the student body, which was overwhelmingly African American. It just became an area of interest and area of study,” saine said, crediting mentors in Virginia with encouraging her interest in Black theater.

“I learned early and very quickly that theater is a window into other worlds,” she said. “It evoked in me an empathy and understanding that I saw there was a need for in the broader world. Particularly living in the south, I saw the need for telling these stories.”

Her interest in African American theater led to involvement in the Black Theatre Network, an organization of artists, educators, scholars, students and theater lovers dedicated to the exploration and preservation of Black theater.

After serving as BTN’s president from 2014-2016, saine decided her role was to be an amplifier and to do what she could to provide access to a history that wasn’t being recorded or celebrated to the degree she thought it should, so she started the podcast.

“Representation matters, and I hope that there’s a growing audience for the podcast,” saine said. “I hope educators are able to expand the canon that they teach because this information is available in ways that they can link to it with their learning management systems.”

She also wants young artists to find inspiration when they listen to the podcast.

“I hope that by bringing a multiplicity of voices to what exists in our media, that our future generations of theatergoers won’t find it exceptional to hear from a Black artist,” saine said. “That it might be something normal for them, that they may expect it, and that they may perpetuate that in their own artistry.”

Through a $5,000 grant from Shepherd’s Faculty Senate, saine spent the summer expanding the podcast.

Episodes of the “black theatre history podcast” can be heard at black theatrehistory.com.

musicians I wanted to get together with, to find which songs of his I wanted to sing and [figure out] what story I wanted to tell. That’s how the title came up: The first act is Smokey, and the second act has some Smokey Robinson songs, too, but the “& Me” portion really tells about my journey through musical theater, making it eventually to Broadway. For the musical theater and Broadway fans out there, too, they get to hear some of that music.

What can the Weinberg Center audience expect from the show?

First of all, they can expect to hear some great music. I have a killer band that backs me and two backup singers who are also awesome. The musicians have played on Broadway or in New York and other things like that. So, the music is going to be great. They can expect to be rocking out to some of the best music of all time.

What I’ve heard from audiences after the show is it’s like taking them on a walk down memory lane because they remember where they were the first time that they heard a song. Music has that ability to remind us of a specific period of our lives, and that’s what this music does. So, they can expect to take that walk down memory lane.
