Drama School Dropout

This week on Drama School Dropout I am joined by the amazing Cole Stewart. We chat about accidentally becoming the school’s ‘drama kid’, the difference between listening and waiting to talk, feeling the fomo watching the ‘covid graduates’ being pushed into jobs, being a late arrival in a college class, the Brassneck Theatre Company, obsessing over Elaine C. Smith, singing on cruise ships and our industry showcase manifestations.
