  • Ep. 11 | Checking Your Faith as an Actor with Kyle Hirning
    You're in the middle of a show and you slowly realize that some of the content may not sit right with you. What do you do? What lessons are there to learn? What is God trying to tell you? In this episode Kyle Hirning talks about his venture into theatre as a Christian and what happened to his Spirit  and Faith when he was put in those exact situations.

  • Ep. 10 | Why Typecasting Can Be A Good Thing
    Introducing my husband Steven Kennedy! I failed to tackle this topic on my own, so I decided to bring in a soundboard. Typecasting seems to be one of the dirty words of theatre and film. Join me as I work through my own issues with it and maybe shed some new light from a director's perspective.

  • Ep. 9 | Antigone: Heroine or Inciter?
    More than just costumes, lights, and acting, plays are not only glimpses of ourselves in other characters, but often relate so hard core to life events. I can think of several great debates that are happening now, that easily mirror the topic of Loyalty v. State in Antigone. Welcome my friend and guest Thomas Magbee as he unpacks that great question while simultaneously answering and/or dodging my questions about his theatre journey. Enjoy!

    There is so much to say about Chiara's story. She studies theatre as a non-Christian for several years, before being introduced to Jesus, by her now husband.
