Dan is joined by actor, singer, and musician Theo Williams, currently in the Australian production of Sister Act! 

We chat about getting the job on Sister Act, the learning curve of commercial musical theatre, quick changes and set moves, working on a very busy show, reflecting on Carols by Candlelight, not taking things for granted, Choir Boy, having your face used for publicity on flags in Parramatta, imposter syndrome, the thriving theatre scene in Newcastle, having an advantage of a certain skillset once stepping into the world of professional theatre, the spectacle of Sister Act, being difficult to intimidate, knowing you're in the room for a reason, getting a gauge for the room, knowing when to lower the professional boundaries, the eight show week, separating your job from your life, recording your own music, listening back to your own work, having few role models growing up that looked like you, stage door, telling stories that mean something to people, and a whole lot more!
