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. You can learn more about the creation of the show and its unique format in this interview I did with Broadway World San Diego.
