About this episode

Mandy and Kathryn discuss the realities of pursuing a career in musical theatre with a young aspiring actor.

Why do we discourage people from a career in the arts? A young person talks to Mandy & Kathryn about how to make it in musical theatre. Hint: Broadway shouldn’t be the goal. Plus, a peak inside Gideon’s brain - as a kid doing performance art about his neighbours. Oh, and the Road Runner makes an appearance.
