Geeks in the Greenroom Heather P Morrison

Our guest on this episode is Carrie Madsen, a true triple threat, nay, multi-threat. While Carrie was a long-time performer growing up in theater in her youth, she scaled back for a while in adulthood. But when she returned to performing, she leapt with gusto and single-mindedness that it jump-started her career, taking her from the Bay Area to Los Angeles. Besides having an old fashioned gab about a lot of different stuff, Carrie talked about what it’s like to build a career as a mature woman.
We had so much to chat about in our interview, that I discovered I had enough material for three episodes! This is the first installment. In this episode Carrie’s talks to me about life and performing before she moved to Lotus Land. So, sit back and enjoy! Check out the goodies below, referenced in the episode:

Our time together was So much fun that we kept talking and talking and talking!
I mention that there would be 3 episodes, but with some tricky editing, I put "episode 2 and 3" (parts 2 and 3) together to make part 2 (no part 3).
I hope you enjoy it as much as we had hanging out!
If you didn't listen to Part 1 - here are the show notes!

My guest in this episode is Angie Flynn-McIver, director and producer. In 2001 She and her husband Charlie founded The North Carolina Stage Company, a 127-seat, off-broadway style professional equity theatre.
Angie is also the Founder and President of Ignite CSP, which helps clients improve their communication skills.  
I learned about Angie through a mutual friend in our podcasting community, Lana Camiel. Angie and I were going to have a short, get-to-know-you call. But I hit the record button early in our conversation because it was getting interesting fast.
And as always... thanks to Ragnar Hellspong at ragsrag.com for generously allowing me to use Scott Joplin's, beautiful ragtime song, The Strenuous Life, on my show. You can hear the full length song on the website.
