One Hen Two Ducks Celina and Megan

On our last Art Unmasked of season one, we close out with a conversation with actor and Tik Tok star Gwynne Laurel Wood! She rose to popularity during the pandemic for her rendition of Penelope Featherington's song for Bridgerton: The Musical. We chat with her about the industry and the change we need to see to move forward now that Broadway is officially coming back. 

We dive into what it takes to be a modern day actor in the business. From education and training, to special skills and body image. Is it ever too much to handle?

On this Art Unmasked we talk to New York City creatives Patrick and Aaron. After the city shut down, they found a way to stay creative, show off their city, and help those all over the world not feel so alone.

We're going way down to Hadestown for this Off Book Review! We discuss the creatives and their designs, actors and their characters, and we dive into the mythology and metaphor of this incredible musical!

In this episode of our Art Unmasked series, we talk to founder and CEO of Broadway In The Hood: Torrey Russell. He tells us about his beginnings with theatre and the arts, and what inspired him to create this program ten years ago. He also tells us about recent struggles the program has had during the pandemic, and also its successes; like recently teaming up with Broadway legend Ben Vereen!

We discuss the newest update from the Actors Union for when and how regional theatre productions can come back. We also address the rumors of a "pandemic price hike" for Broadway shows...can they do that and who can afford it?!
