Toronto actor Tennille Read joins me in The Zoom Green Room. She has numerous television and movie credits, including a recurring role on Season 3 of Workn’ Moms (CBC) and Atom Egoyan’s Guest of Honour (2019). We discuss the challenges of a career in performing, and the advantages of coming to film/theatre school with a mature perspective. Don’t miss it.

Joining me this week in The Zoom Green Room is the dazzling soprano Jennifer Carter. Beyond the opera, Jennifer is also a business owner and entrepreneur.

Out on Wednesday April 14 - remember to listen and #subscribe!

This week, The Zoom Green Room is graced with the presence of actor, designer and Enfant terrible Ryan Anning! We talk about performance highlights and transitioning from one artistic discipline to another.  Don’t forget to listen and #subscribe.

This week, Sara Taylor a.k.a. Chibi, front-woman of The Birthday Massacre and author of the novel Boring Girls stops by The Zoom Green Room. We talk growing up in Galt and being a high school misfit to playing for crowds of 10,000 people and having a novel published. Be sure to catch chat with the fascinating (and funny) Sara/Chibi.

This week writer and arts worker Michael Cursio joins me in The Zoom Green Room. We talk arts work, writing stories and novels vs. scripts and screenplays, and possible futures. No matter how grim our fears about what may lie directly ahead for us in the arts world, Michael makes everything go down like a delightful glass of bubbly!

Tune in this week to hear Anne talk to behind-the-scenes theatre, TV and film veteran Melanie Mooney. Talk fluctuates between the challenges of working 12-18 hour days on-set to our favourite reality television shows. At the end of the day, it becomes clear that people who work in the performing arts are all connected, no matter their position on the ladder. Also, toe-rings are always a mistake.
