Pardon My Success

Today we have two return guests coming on the pod, our favorite Director / Producer Duo, Colleen Hammond Whitmore and Sandra Benton!! We sit down to chat CHW Productions at Hollywood Fringe, the Red Carpet Opening Night Party, and all of the excitement and hard work that goes into putting on four shows at once. At the same time, we make some traditional Chinese eggrolls to wrap up the Fringe season and usher in the upcoming shows! Get excited for "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and "The Tempest" coming soon to The Hobgoblin Theater!

It's the Mid-Season Finale!! Before we take a lil 3 week break, we're sitting down with the dynamic duo, and loving wives, Alla Arutcheva and Geri-Lynn Cesar! Alla's photography and marketing talent paired with Geri-Lynn's psychology and styling skills have created Femini Rising and Visionary Media Labs, two companies focused on branding the whole person through storytelling and authenticity. We chat about how they got their start in the industry, where they are now (on stage with Hilary Duff apparently!), where they're going next, and how they are able to do it all together :')

Today we're chatting with the incredible actor, performer, cabaret producer, and overall legend Eric Seppala to hear all about his journey in the arts! From his fellow Tour Guides at Universal Studios helping him qualify for SAG, to the most joyous Xanadu Experiences in the world, Eric's story is full of funny moments and synchronicities. We then take a moment to sing-song some of our lines from Colleen Hammond Whitmore's "Tartuffe in 60 Minutes" in The Hollywood Fringe Festival :)
