If you were a devoted theater fan in 1940s Minneapolis, you would have come across a rising star named Hilda Simms, born Hilda Moses. She went on to star on Broadway, appear on magazine covers, perform in Europe and act in Hollywood movies and TV shows. Throughout her career, Hilda Simms dedicated herself to speaking out against poverty and racism. But according to a new book out Tuesday, her talent and hard work were constrained by the limited roles available to Black women. Plus, her career and those of other Black actors involved in civil rights work suffered from the impact of the Hollywood Red Scare. The Red Scare was a period when artists accused of having Communist ties were shut out of roles. JoJo Bell is the author of “Red Stained: The Life of Hilda Simms” and she joined Minnesota Now to talk about Hilda's beginnings at the Phyllis Wheatley House in north Minneapolis, the theater roles available to Black women during Hilda's life and the impact she left on her communities.

Ep. 96 John Andrew Morrison Broadway's Backbone is a podcast dedicated to the men and women of the ensemble: The chorus of dancers, singers, and actors that are the foundation of every Broadway musical. These often-unsung gypsies are the hardest working people on the boards and are Broadway's backbone. Each episode interviews a Broadway vet about their life, career, and dreams, but also delves into the real topics that aren't always shared. The life of a gypsy may be full of passion, but not always filled with glamour. Each guest shares intimate details about their journey. There is no mud-slinging, but a little dirt. I, Brad Bradley, a Broadway Performer, host it. I have worked with most of the guests and know what questions to ask. It's a real look into the life that so many kids dream of, me being one of those kids. There is so much out there about the stars of theatre, the award winner, but 75% of the show is the ensemble. We are like water to the body. Not everyone gets the last bow at curtain call, but that doesn't mean they are any less important. I've spent the last several years working in regional theatre and stock and the kids are so interested in my Broadway career. I realized if they thought I was interesting, they should meet my friends. This is for them. This podcast is in honor of the folks of the ensemble and the people who plan to be them.

In today's episode we sit down with the lovely Ovation Award Winning Broadway Performer Sara King, who is a fierce survivor of trauma in many forms. We talk about what it was like to play Cynthia Weil on Broadway's Beautiful: The Carole King Musical and Carole seeing the show in full disguise. Outside of her performance career, we learn the heartbreaking story of Sara losing her beloved father to a pulmonary embolism when she was young, her and her siblings watching how her mom navigated the experience and then discovering her mother had a vicious form of cancer, that took her life far too quickly. Following the loss of her parents, many more members of her family began to pass away and the group discusses the effects of compounded grief and how it changes you, for better and worse. Laura and Sara bond over their shared experience of losing so many loved ones, as well as divorce and how it all can build resilience and fortitude, but also give you have a deeper appreciation for life. While the three of them get into some very heavy topics, everyone comes away with a deeper understanding of how hardship can ultimately help you stop and smell the roses!

SEASON 2 EPISODE 54 HOST: Sheila Glavee GUEST: Joseph Corella Using his dance, theatre, and fitness background, Joseph has traveled the globe, spreading this love and understanding of the importance of movement to such places as Japan, France, England, and Canada, as well as dozens of cities across the United States.  Joseph's connection to movement started in his early childhood with extensive training in jazz, tap, contemporary, and ballet. At thirteen, he became a member of famed choreographer Marguerite Derricks' prestigious dance company, Tremaine Teen Company, and shortly thereafter appeared in Disney's Geppetto alongside pop superstar Usher. In 1997, Joseph was named American Dance Awards' Teen Male Dancer of the Year. Soon after, the band Tropic Zone was created around Joseph and 2 others, with whom he toured extensively, including the US. Building on his dance and vocal talent, Joseph studied at the Lee Strasberg Theater and Film Institute and honed his comedic skills with Upright Citizens Brigade. He debuted on Broadway in All Shook Up and subsequently toured the US with productions of Grease (Dance Captain) and West Side Story. Other theatrical credits include: Surf: The Musical, CATS, Altar Boyz, Guys and Dolls, and much more. Joseph has been featured as a choreographer in the hit HBO special A Quinceañera Story.  Joseph was also featured on NBC's The Today Show promoting this HBO Doc.  As well, he teamed up with fitness guru, Cassey Ho of Blogilates and Pop Pilates creator, for a YouTube collaboration, seen by her 4.4 million followers. Joseph has worked with Rebel Wilson where he choreographed a CATS routine dubbed “Catzercize” which has been shared by Rebel and her 6 million + followers.  That viral video was soon followed up with a choreographed routine to “Greased Lightnin” from Grease, complete with Rebel piloting a pantomime race car. Joseph has been seen on television in Disney's Wizards of Waverly Place, MTV Dance Marathon, and the CW's Hart of Dixie.  Joseph's choreography has been seen on the CW's hit TV show Hart of Dixie, MTV Video Music Awards, the Neon Trees music video Feel Good, 98 Degree's music video Microphone, Julie Brown's hit musical Homecoming Queen's Got a Musical, I Totally Know What You Did Last Donna Summer starring Drew Droege and much more! Joseph's proudest accomplishment to date is creating 567BROADWAY! an all-levels dance fitness class. This idea was born out of Joseph's desire to create, encourage, and provide an inclusive sense of community where EVERYONE could have a safe space to dance and start their fitness journeys. 567BROADWAY! is a fun dance fitness experience that fuses the magic of Broadway with cardio and strength training to give you a full-body workout!

Ep 294 | Aired 4/29/2022 Today on Up In Your Business with Kerry McCoy I had the pleasure of talking (and guffawing!) with Mr. Jacob Keith Watson, a Broadway performer who is back in his home state of Arkansas to star in the Repertory Theatre's production of Into the Woods by Steven Sondheim. Ticket information can be found at TheRep.org. Jacob, playing the kindhearted Baker, will sing his way into your heart during the performance. In preparation for this interview, I read Jacob's resume and it was fun. An actor's resume is so unlike that of a traditional job application. At the top of the page, it lists his height, weight, eye color, hair color, and voice range. In no way could I ask any of those questions to a prospective hire at Flag and Banner! In case you're wondering: Mr. Jacob Keith Watson is 5'9, 200 lbs., has blond hair, blue eyes, and is a "Baritenor" (sings a high C). At my last count, Jacob has acted in 15 shows across the stages of Broadway, National Tours, and Regional Theatre. To name a few (and some you will easily recognize): Carousel, Hello Dolly, Phantom of the Opera, and Chicago. Hear Jacob Keith Watson talk about why he loves theatre, how the pandemic affected his career in NYC, and share some advice for young actors looking to get into the business of acting.

Guest: Tony Spinosa Broadway's Backbone is a podcast dedicated to the men and women of the ensemble: The chorus of dancers, singers, and actors that are the foundation of every Broadway musical. These often-unsung gypsies are the hardest working people on the boards and are Broadway's backbone. Each episode interviews a Broadway vet about their life, career, and dreams, but also delves into the real topics that aren't always shared. The life of a gypsy may be full of passion, but not always filled with glamour. Each guest shares intimate details about their journey. There is no mud-slinging, but a little dirt. I, Brad Bradley, a Broadway Performer, host it. I have worked with most of the guests and know what questions to ask. It's a real look into the life that so many kids dream of, me being one of those kids. There is so much out there about the stars of theatre, the award winner, but 75% of the show is the ensemble. We are like water to the body. Not everyone gets the last bow at curtain call, but that doesn't mean they are any less important. I've spent the last several years working in regional theatre and stock and the kids are so interested in my Broadway career. I realized if they thought I was interesting, they should meet my friends. This is for them. This podcast is in honor of the folks of the ensemble and the people who plan to be them.
