Welcome to The "For the Makers" Podcast where we interview artists on their journeys, inspirations, and processes and encourage you, the makers, to listen well and tell stories.

Today's guest is Jonathan Hogue. Jonathan Hogue is a theatrical producer, writer, and director with a passion for new work development and creative branding. He carries 4+ years of experience in Executive, Administrative, Marketing, and Production Assistant positions on Broadway as well as with Williamstown Theatre Festival, the Joffrey Ballet School, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, and Production Glue, and is currently completing his MFA in Theatre Management & Producing at Columbia University. He is also the writer (book/score) and lead producer of Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical (Winner - 2021 BroadwayWorld Off-Broadway Award for Best New Musical) now playing a hit extended run off-Broadway, with international productions running concurrently in the UK and Australia. Other projects in development include Camp Nightmare, a jukebox parody musical riffing on 1980's slasher films; and The Nations, a drama loosely based on his experiences as an aid worker across three continents, which received its virtual world-premiere in Spring 2021. He has also produced the NY Premiere of Jay Stull's The Singularity Play (Columbia University New Play Festival 2022) as well as a series of virtual one-acts for Theatrical Resources Unlimited’s 2021 TRUSpeak Benefit (featuring Ann Harada, Brenda Braxton, and Robert Cuccioli), and has served as a reader for the TRU Voices and Williamstown Theatre Festival Weissberger New Play awards.

Today's guest is Rachel Lind. Rachel is an actor/writer based out of NYC. Originally from the great Pacific Northwest, she grew up loving theatre and telling everyone about it through song and dance (whether they asked for it or not). She is the recipient of a KCACTF Irene Ryan Nomination, and has trained with The Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade. Recent acting credits include Maria Rainer in The Sound of Music, The Baker’s Wife in Into the Woods, and her solo shows I'm An Only Child and The Julie Andrews Tribute Show. As a writer, her credits include The Twilight Zoom with The Second City Chicago, her plays Taylor Swift at a Bar... and Men in Khakis, and several screenplays ready to be produced (Netflix, call me). On the side, Rachel loves coffee shop hopping, leading worship, and watching the Sandra Bullock filmography. Her goals are to be in one of the Knives Out films and to see Emily Blunt win the Oscar she so rightly deserves.

Today's guest is Carly Speno. Carly is a writer, fierce champion of artists, and 1/3 of Seeded Productions. An artist by design since the moment she experienced the magic of theatre at 6 years old, artistry has taken many shapes since then, and now it's really the curiosity and yearning for life that fuels her creative soul. Carly believes we are all artists, inherently. After experiencing the intoxicating energy of living in New York City, being a part-time producer, part-time event manager for a start-up, part-time yoga studio cleaner, and full-time explorer; Carly decided to put all her things into storage and find out what else was out there. These days, she works remotely as the Marketing Director for WinterWonderGrass festival, as well as a freelance content writer. When she's feeling creative, Carly loves to write, dance, make a long, leisurely breakfast, hang out with dogs, and spend time in the sun.
