“Firsts” with Brenda Zaprzalka

from Lessons from the Stage Hosted by garyscarpa

My first guest is Brenda Zaprzalka, an actor who was there at the beginning of our directing careers—and who appeared in the first plays of two theater companies my wife and I would go on to found. Now, as my first podcast guest, Brenda and I look back at those early days, the first steps that led to much more, and the people and experiences that made those years memorable. Because in theater, as in life, “firsts” often turn out to be just the beginning.
