"I'm B.A.T.man" - Your Bay Area Theatre Podcast

After a (way too long) break I was finally able to record a new podcast with my friend Brian Watson. Brian is the Resident Scenic Designer and Painter for 42nd St. Moon in San Francisco. He is also a skilled actor, singer, and master of the arts. We talk at length about artistic inspiration, the logistics of making a living wage in the arts, "Hidden Mickeys", and some observations on the B.A.T. scene.

Episode 07 - Jennifer Perry

Jennifer Perry has lived all her life working and creating art in East Bay. She is my employer at "Lareen Fender's Ballet School Performing Arts", where I teach. And she is my Director in the East bay Area Premiere of the East Bay Premiere of "Roald Dahl's Matilda - The Musical" at Contra Costa Musical Theatre, Where I am playing Harry Wormwood. I had a great time discussing with Jenny her background as a theatre professional in the area, balancing being an educator, business owner, and Mother, while creating resonant art for the area. We also discuss her unique approach to directing a story that is so well known to so many audiences, young and old.
