    Episode 18 - Jo Galloway

    For my last interview of 2019 I bring you the beautiful and talented Jo Galloway.  Trained in Musical Theatre at the Waterfront Theatre School here in Cape Town she traveled the world with some amazing shows before packing her bag and taking the plunge into the big pool of LA.  That was 8 years ago and since then she has built her career as an actress, writer, producer and director, through her company ShoWorks Entertainment.  We chatted about the highs and lows of the industry, the ways we cope and the importance of having a support system and a place to step away from and not be overwhelmed by the work.  This interview is filled with a solid mixture of hope and practicality and I feel every actor will listen and see that they are not alone in their sometimes uncontrollable ups and downs.  She is a mine of information and experience and always open to share. Check out her website www.jogalloway.com and find out more about her production company at www.showorksentertainment.com Follow her on Instagram @jogalloway3 and on Facebook @jogallowayactress to keep up with her new projects and find out more about her plans for 2020.
