Happy July! We are back with another part of our Demystifying Broadway series! We have chatted with Erik C. Peterson, Dalia Ashurina, and now, Rachel Dean, a pianist and composer who has worked on Broadway to discuss, you guessed it, Broadway! What’s it really like? Let’s demystify Broadway, one friend at a time.
It’s gunna be MAY. This month is shrews only, and we tackle the tough topic of rejection. We are no strangers to rejection in the theater world. Let’s talk about how it feels and how we can move past it!
