Hurry Up and Revolt｜Jyla Robinson & Thomas Schultes

First time with two guests! In this exciting episode I was joined with actors Jyla Robinson and Thomas Schultes who are in Theatre Under The Stars' Matilda: The Musical. Some of the things we delved into include their characters, preparing for a show that has a couple different versions accessible to them, character research, working with children, doing accents, tech week, dancing and how our fears can stop us from doing what we want to do (which they shouldn't!). After hearing some words of encouragement from Thomas and Jyla, we also found out what shows they'd like TUTS to put on in the upcoming seasons. Intro music: Hazy by Oddfish.
