Exclusive Interview: Stebert Davenport From The Ringwald Theatre’s ‘Cock’

The Ringwald Theatre over in Ferndale, MI, has never shied away from the stories they tell, and their latest show, Cock, is no exception. An intimate look into sexuality and how attraction and love change over time, Cock shines a light on relationships of all kinds and how complicated they can be. Director Joe Bailey has created something special for The Ringwald, as this show is something unlike you’ve never seen before. Prior to the opening night, we spoke with one of the cast members of the show, Stebert Davenport, about his time on this production!
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, Stebert Davenport talks about what drew him to Cock (because how to do you turn away a script with a title like that!), how he has built his character of John, and how his journey with sexuality has changed in reflection with his character. Listen as Brian Kitson and Davenport explore gender, sexuality, and the debate between nature and nurture in the development with the former two. Which themes from Cock resonate the most with the actor? What is he hoping audiences walk away from this production with? Listen to this thoughtful interview to hear all these answers and more about this current Ringwald Theatre show!
