NEW PERFORMERS HAPPINESS IN THE ARTS (PHARTS) PODCAST EPISODE 🩰🎬🎹🎭🎤 🎟 Topic - Missing life celebrations for shows It is no secret that when you do shows regularly, you are going to miss birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, weddings, and so much more.

NEW PERFORMERS HAPPINESS IN THE ARTS (PHARTS) PODCAST EPISODE 🩰🎬🎹🎭🎤 🎟 Topic - Leveling Up the clothes in your closet A TikTok video the other day that really inspired this podcast episode.

It’s that “grass is always...

🎟 Topic - Raised in Ballet, Not Musical Theatre I really thought I was going to be a ballerina. A professional ballerina. With the San Francisco ballet! Clearly, that did not happen and I’m grateful that it did not. Life as a ballerina is super different compared to life as a musical theater performer.

NEW PERFORMERS HAPPINESS IN THE ARTS (PHARTS) PODCAST EPISODE 🩰🎬🎹🎭🎤 🎟 Topic - Food is Magic I actually have an up-and-down relationship with food.

I have wasted so much time analyzing what I eat. L...
