  • SUCH FUN CONVOS!

    I love listening to Ryan chat to his friends/celebrities about theater. I’m not even that much of a theater kid but I always have the biggest smile on my face listening to them geek out about it. I have big kid Ryan Garcia Energy - here for the VIBES!

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MORGAN MEADOWS joins for: FALSETTOS
Q: What is the future of it if people aren't able to be developed?
They discuss how stunt casting and fewer entry-level roles can make it harder for working actors to build experience and develop into established performers.
MORGAN MEADOWS joins for: FALSETTOS
Q: What is like your background of getting into theater? What got you started and all that?
Meadows says she was imaginative and loved performing as a child, then joined drama, improv, dance and choir activities before earning a BFA in acting at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts.
HALEY FITZGERALD joins for: The Outsiders | A New Musical at Hollywood Pantages Theatre
Q: What was it about that? I think it was that big fight they had that worked so well.
Fitzgerald credits the choreography, lighting, sound, costumes and performers working together. She says the movement combined older and modern styles without feeling like an unnecessary musical-theatre dance break.
HALEY FITZGERALD joins for: The Outsiders | A New Musical at Hollywood Pantages Theatre
Q: Tell me about that process of getting into obsession. Was it just like a tape audition process? What was it like being on set? What happened?
Fitzgerald says director Curry Barker, a former neighbor, invited her to audition. She sent a self-tape and was offered the role shortly afterward. She describes the one-day shoot as an efficient production and says it was exciting to watch the film gain a worldwide theatrical release.
BROCK YURICH joins for: Les Misérables at Hollywood Pantages Theatre
Q: What was Brock's first show?
He recounts his first show in college/early training, including his breakthrough role as Billy Lawler in 42nd Street during high school/college, and reflects on his growth from there.
