Riffs and Scripts

Cole is singer and manager of a hard rock band. Amber is an actor who has worked across theatre, film and television. The two compare stories, jokes, pet peeves and handy tips they have picked up from working in the performing arts. What is it like when we haven't hit the big time? We hope to bring together music and acting communities/fanbases, to show that we share a lot of the same experiences and to support each other as we work in such awesome but challenging industries.
