    Episode 293: Live at Camp Monologa
    Jul 27 2024
    Norman and I just finished recording our first live podcast - at the beautiful Camp Monologa in Castro Valley! We hosted a panel of directors, to talk about "How to Nail Your Next Acting Gig", with guests Wynne Chan, John Maio, Kimberly Ridgeway and Salim Rizawi. Wynne Chan has worked all over the bay area, most recently with The Pear Theatre, directing The Chinese Lady this past spring; John Maio is a veteran director in the bay, having worked at Altarena, Hillbarn Theatre, Douglas Morrison Theatre and many others; Kim Ridgeway, who has been on the Yay many times, is currently directing Pat Milton's play The Accused, playing now until August 11; and Salim Rizawi is the casting director at Shotgun Players and has directed for many companies in the bay area. We touched on: mistakes made during auditions; doing your homework as an actor (know the play and the company you're auditioning for); and being realistic - knowing who you are as an actor and what you can and can't do. Since this was a live show, we didn't touch at all on current events or birthdays or upcoming shows (speaking of which, please check out Inventory: Baldwin Abroad, playing at Playground SF August 1-4 and at the BAM House August 22 - Sept 1st). Our focus is to help Plethos Productions, a company that means so much to Norman and I. Karin Richey has done a tremendous job in the 7 years of Plethos' existence, creating wonderful stories and creating opportunities for new actors and directors. Having a residence in Hayward is the next step for Plethos and we want to help them achieve that goal. You can help! Please go to https://givebutter.com/letsplethos and help Plethos continue to create wonderful theatre.
