Sarnia Famous

Happy Friday theatre lovers! This week’s guest is Dave Mitchell. We talk about how missing football try outs changed the course of his life, the many layers to fight choreography, why staying in the moment is crucial in theatre and much more. Dave is thoughtful and direct and openly shares his experiences with a light sense of humor. On with the show.

Hello theatre lovers and welcome to the super special birthday episode! The surprise guest was – me! Brian Austin Jr. was busy. HUGE thank you to Adam Forristal for producing this and to Brent Wilkinson for co-hosting and most of all to those who attended the event to cheer us on. Warning: explicit language; shield your children accordingly. On with the show. 

Happy Friday theatre lovers! No episode posted today because tomorrow I am taking over the Refined Fool on London.  Join me for a live episode with a surprise guest! If that's not enough to tantalize you there will be 1/2 price bottles $5 glasses of wine and $6 beer cocktails. The live episode also marks the end of season 1! For season 2 Ive decided to start publishing episodes biweekly instead of weekly to open myself up for more creative opportunities and to hopefully find time to expand this project. I'm also on the hunt for volunteers to help Sarnia Famous in the tech and social media arena. If you've always wanted to work on a pod and have interest in one or both of these areas dm me on Facebook or Insta or send an email to [email protected]. Can't believe its been a year. Thank you all so much for listening. Here's to season 2! 

Happy Friday theatre lovers! This week’s guest is Alexa De Carolis. We talk about her very first role in a Theatre Sarnia production, what coordinating makeup during the pandemic looked like, the case of the missing nose and much more. Alexa holds a lot of bright positive energy in a tiny little package and was a delight to interview. On with the show.

OOOOOOOOOOKlahoma.... ok now that that song is stuck in your head please enjoy this episode featuring Richard Teskey where he explains how 90s  brain drain, Oklahoma and a dare launched his theatre career. 

The nostalgia continues with this lovely episode featuring Mr. Ron Pask.

I feel guilty not publishing this week so I thought: give the people two rebroadcasts! This episode with Ryan stands out as probably the most random, in terms of topics: chest hair, on stage nudity, mental health, and of course furry pastry men. You're welcome. 

Hard to believe its almost been a year since this first recording. I remember thinking I would incorporate games of  into every episode...until I realized there was so much richness in what the guests had to say I didn't need them. Thanks Jay, for rolling with this and saying yes to the episodes no questions asked. 

Happy Friday theatre lovers! This week’s guest is Mia Abate. We nerd out about musicals, her evolving career path, and we talk about food, a lot; in fact, you should probably have a snack before listening to this, just in case. Mia has a way with words and simultaneously exudes youthful vigor and sage wisdom and she’s also just super fun to talk to. On with the show.

Happy Friday theatre lovers! This week’s guest is Chris Molyneaux. We chat about what music school auditions are like, the importance of diversifying as a musician and Chris shares a super incredible story about how not being afraid to put yourself out there can really pay off. Chris’ light burns bright in everything he does, and I know you will finish this episode feeling just as inspired as I did interviewing him. On with the show
