Coming at you again with those hot new podcast feels! This week we’ve got the one, the only, Vanessa Coley-Donohue. Continuing from Andrew and Jennifer’s episodes over the past couple of weeks, this was another one I was especially excited to record since she and I don’t know each other super well.

What a fascinating and super talented human though, let me tell you! I know that I was especially amazed with her because she’s gone down so many paths in her life so far, the most recent of which has her back at school and learning sign language to become an ASL - English Interpreter.

She is also an excellent actor, singer, and dancer who has been in shows all around the city for many years! Needless to say, I’m a big fan, and I’m happy to have made a new friend!

Thanks for listening as always! Tune in next week for more Broad-WHAT? Goodness.

Hey everyone! Thanks for coming back to listen to another episode! This week I’m really excited to introduce a bunch of you to Melissa Sciarretta.

I’ve known Melissa since she was but wee, and it’s been amazing to watch her grow and mature into the rockstar that she is today! We recorded this interview back in the summer, so we talk a bit about 42nd Street at TUTS, which I hope you all got to see, because it was a good time. Melissa has a long history with TUTS and theatre in this town, and as a young performer with so much talent it’s going to be amazing to see what she does next!

Bye!

Here we go, Monday schedule resumes now! This week I got to sit down with the amazingly talented and hilariously funny Jennifer Pielak!

Jennifer and I have met a few times in the past, but we had never really gotten the chance to actually have a good talk. This was recorded back before the Fringe Festival had started, and now on the other end of it, I can honestly say that I am in awe of Jennifer and what she does as an artist and improviser.

We talked a lot about how she got to where she is now, from moving around and being an actor, starting a company, being an improviser, and everything in between.

Enjoy this one friends, it’s a good time to say the least!

And we’re back! This is a huge week for us here at BROAD-WHAT? because I got to speak to the amazingly talented Andrew McNee!

Andrew is literally the kindest person that I’ve ever met, and any anxiety that I may have had going into the interview was very quickly dispersed by the general feeling of joy and ease that he brings into the room.

Since I didn’t know him before the interview, I got to talk a lot about what he’s done in his art, how he’s gotten to where he is now, and just generally just dive right in to learning all about him. I’m so happy to have made a new friend in Andrew, and if you haven’t seen Mustard yet at the Arts Club, then I’d highly recommend doing so before it closes.

Thanks for sticking with us. Weekly updates start up as of now, so we’ll see you on Monday with our next episode!

Today’s theme is work ethic and overcoming adversity. Jen Lynch is such an inspirational human, and she has gone through some shit let me tell you (both literally and figuratively).

She is so talented, but more than that we really spent a lot of time talking about working on yourself instead of relying on talent. It was a very inspirational interview for me.

Most importantly, what I took away from this talk is that if you want to do something then just do it, because you never know what might happen tomorrow.

Like and subscribe as always, and wave goodbye to Jen as she flies away to Australia in two days!

Jason is an awesome, up-and-coming musical theatre rock start in the making. We first met doing “Bonnie and Clyde” where I made my directing debut with Play on Words Productions, and he played our Young Clyde. Ever since then we’ve been keeping in contact with each other, and it’s been amazing to see the trajectory that his young career has already taken.

In this episode we got to talk a lot about navigating the stress of teenage life while also trying to begin an acting career both in film and on the stage. We also got to talk about his experience as a young asian man with representation in theatre and film, and how the two vary. Let’s just say that this talk further solidified that we still have a long way to go, especially in film on the path to becoming more inclusive of all races and cultures.

Keep an eye out for Jason on stage in the future, since I’ve got a feeling he’s going to be a big freakin’ deal in no time flat!

Until next week my friends!

Hello everyone!

Thank you for tuning into this weeks episode with the incredible Demi! She is a multi-talented artist who is a complete inspiration to me. We chatted about literally everything under the sun and I was on the edge of my seat.

As always, subscribe to more episodes and check us out doing Geekenders' production of The Nightmare Before Christmas in concert!

Hello friends! This week I got to sit down with a new friend of mine, the amazingly talented dancing dynamo: Kyle McCloy! First of all, shout out to the incomparable Jacq Smith who we talk about near the beginning of the show, and she’s just awesome!

Kyle is a local to the lower mainland having grown up in Abbotsford/Langley in his early days, which of course we got to bonding over as I’m a Maple Ridge boy myself, haha. He’s a dancer before anything else which is not often the case for musical theatre performers in Vancouver, especially men-folk, so it was very interesting to talk to him about theatre from that perspective. I love that we got to chat in such detail about him, and his life, and how he grew up, because looking at the man I know today it’s hard to believe that he was an introverted, self confessed nerd growing up!

I’m going to leave it here, because I don’t want to ruin the episode with spoilers, but this one is really great, and Kyle is so intelligent and kind, so take a listen!

See you next week!
