Today’s episode is a milestone for Spokast! As we continue to celebrate the incredible people of Spokane, we’re also expanding our reach to include those talented individuals who bring their extraordinary skills to our city, even if they don’t call it home.

Joining us is Jessie Hooker-Bailey, a Broadway powerhouse currently touring with the acclaimed musical Company. Playing the role of Sarah, Jessie brings a slice of Broadway right here to Spokane, showcasing the vibrancy of our local arts scene.

Jessie’s journey takes her from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to the bright lights of Broadway, weaving through her experiences in the legendary Stephen Sondheim musical. We dive into her remarkable career, and I give her a rundown of the best spots downtown.

Catch Jessie and the cast of Company live at the First Interstate Center for the Arts. The show runs from Wednesday, September 11th to Sunday, September 15th. For tickets, head to  broadwayspokane.com.
