114: Multi-hyphenate Media Maven Lydia-Renee Darling

www.lydiareneedarling.com Lydia-Renee  Darling dropped some gems in this episode. She is an actor-scriptwriter from Madison, Wisconsin and  self-described "quadruple M"... a mixed, multi-hyphenate media maven!  Lydia is a BFA Musical Theatre grad from the Webster Conservatory class  of 2020 and will earn her MA in Writing for Stage and Broadcast Media at  the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in the fall of 2021. Her  first full-length play about interracial relationships and racial  prejudice was produced at The Actor’s Rep in February 2020. Performance  credits include Jocasta in Antigone at Yokohama Theatre Group in  Kawasaki, Japan and Pride and Prejudice at The Rep St. Louis. #rememberadam,  a Zoom short produced, written and acted by Lydia in September of 2020,  was featured in three festivals. Lydia also filmed and released a solo  comedy webseries during the pandemic (The Misadventures of a Wannabe  Beauty Guru). As a biracial, second-generation Ghanaian-American, Lydia  creates and performs in pieces that focus on seemingly niche but  universally compelling stories to lift the voices of marginalized  communities on screen and stage. https://www.instagram.com/lydiareneedarling/
