Episode 16 of the Tears & Joy Podcast is an interview with actress & comedy writer Courtney Corso-Casiano. A born and raised New Yorker, Courtney has performed in various cabarets & concerts at 54 Below, The Green Room 42, and Sony Hall. In this episode she shared the story of her twenties so far-- graduating in 2019 from Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music and moving back to New York months before the pandemic, beginning to pursue comedy writing and jumping back into the world of musical theatre. Courtney recently produced her own solo show Livin’ La Vida Coco to a sold out audience at The Green Room 42. This is a great episode about pursuing your childhood dreams and what you were made to do, as well as learning to play the long game when things don’t happen as quickly as you planned.
