Actor and former Miss Indiana Is Indianapolis Theatre veteran.

In this episode of On the Aisle, host Tom Alvarez sits down with Indianapolis theater veteran Jill O’Malia for a warm, reflective conversation about her life on stage, her deep ties to the Indiana Repertory Theatre, and her journey through roles like Velma in Hairspray at the Tarkington. They talk about how Indy’s theater scene has evolved, the impact of venues like the Palladium and Center for the Performing Arts, and how strong arts journalism and advocacy helped shape both Jill’s career and Tom’s work as a reviewer. Jill shares candid memories of auditions, sold‑out productions, and the friendships and networks that sustain working actors, while Tom connects those stories to the broader growth of central Indiana’s arts community.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
