What does the description "part Broadway Cabaret, part TED talk" mean?
As a Personal Branding Strategist & Career Coach by day, and an Actor "by night" I was intrigued by the idea of creating a one-woman show that lives in both of those worlds. In Always a Banana, Never the Bride: An Ode to Broadway's "Lesser Ladies" my goal is to shine a spotlight on & pay homage to the classic "Second Banana" character of musical theatre, while also challenging audiences to think differently about labels, stereotypes, and the boxes we put ourselves and others in.
