Andrea Matthews

Happy Friday theatre lovers! This week’s guest is Andrea Matthews. This is an important interview for me, Andrea has a special place in my theatre journey, and I’m super delighted she was able to make the time. We chat about how stage management can evolve depending on the dynamic with the director, her desire to work with new-to-her directors, and I think you’ll be as shocked as me to learn she’s maybe not as organized as you think she is. Andrea is direct, focused, and determined but also warm, loving and kind. On with the show.

Emily Johnson REBROADCAST

This is still easily one of my favorite episodes. Thrice we re-recorded this interview thanks to technical difficulties. Emily is a patient, positively delightful human and I still so appreciate her sense of humor and willingness to roll with the technical punches.
