Happy New Year! Hopefully 2021 won't be as awful as last year and just sorta awful like every other normal year.  January always tends to be the month of the "New Year, New You" mantra nonsense.

For the entire month we will be discussing the toxic body expectations and the harm they've done (and continue to do) in the the professional theatre industry. To kick off we have my friend KIMBERLY LAWSON. We chat about our pandemic lives, body representation and our own personal stories of body image issues caused by theatre.    Please Rate us and drop a review!  Twitter Facebook Email --------------------------------------------------- Thank you to Matt McMullen for the "stage manager" voice over intro.
