We are so pleased to have MelRob back in the studio, this time to talk about her role as Eastern Regional Vice President of Actors' Equity Association.  In one of our most informative interviews to date, we discuss the history of AEA, how and when to join, benefits (and responsibilities!) of membership, and advice for future members.  And most importantly- how to get free shoes!
