Episode 7: Cori & Ian, Actors and Producers (Part 2)

No, but really, what do you do as an actor and producer (part 2)? Inclusive, accessible, representative. These are some of the core tenets that Cori & Ian and the rest of their creative partners at Via Brooklyn have built into their theatre company. In the second half of our conversation about their work we dive into the physical and emotional technical skills they use as actors, as well as what they’ve learned along the way about running a theatre as a business. They share the core questions they ask themselves and their creative partners when engaging in new productions, and advice for individuals moving into the arts.
