In this LIVE-streamed interview series, Broadway and West-End veteran Kirby Ward, Rubicon’s Education and Outreach Director, chats with a dream list of Broadway’s biggest and brightest actors, directors, writers, and producers – all major industry stars. Each will talk about their creative process and career journey and provide a snapshot of a life lived successfully in the arts. You’ll hear stories of hardship, perseverance, training and preparedness, lucky breaks, magic moments, and more. For the second half-hour, students from the Musical Theatre Production Workshop, Fearless Shakespeare, and older students from Stinky Feet will have an opportunity to ask questions of these remarkable professionals. Those who register for the Audit Series may listen and observe, but only young artists enrolled in the three main summer programs may pose questions. Those confirmed to date have collected an astonishing 25 Tony Award nominations, 9 wins, and multiple Olivier Awards! ALL proceeds go to Rubcion's Education and Outreach fund.
