Marcella gets high with Dyani Rejae

So often as performers we look at our careers as if it is in someone else hands. Waiting to book the job, to be validated, to receive a glowing review to help raise our profile in the industry. Theatre Artist Ryan G. Hinds is joining the conversation on Cue To Cue today and he is busting a few myths and addressing mindset gaps that performers, including himself, can fall into from time to time. When Ryan said these four words, “ My career. My terms.” I was waiting for confetti to fall from the ceiling, music to start playing, and Bob Barker to appear saying, “Tell him what he has won, Rod!”  Ryan hits the nail on the head. It is our responsibility as artists to get out there and create. Stop waiting for the phone to ring. Get educated on what you need to know about this business, the craft, so as to not be taken advantage of and get going! I was inspired by Ryan and I know you will be too! In this episode: How to avoid becoming all consumed by the biz Why having a mentorship The questions Chita Rivera asked him that helped him shaped the way he looked at his career How his one-man Cabaret grew from a one-time performance to in internationally toured Cabaret.

On today's Daytime Confidential podcast, she was television's first Super Bitch, Lisa Miller on As The World Turns for the better part of five decades, now the legendary Eileen Fulton is back to doing what she loves best, performing her sassy, fun cabaret act throughout New York City. Luke and Jamey caught up with Fulton just in time to dish about her upcoming Christmas show I Remember...or At Least I Try this Friday night, Dec. 17 beginning at 7 pm. at Don't Tell Mama (343 West 46th Street) in New York City. Fulton offers a preview of the tunes and stories she plans to enchant her legions of fans with and also regales the DC boys with several of infamous soap stories, like: The time she got hit in the face by a fan who hated Lisa. What really fueled her clashes with ATWT creator Irna Phillips? What it was like to take the character of Lisa from daytime to primetime to compete with ABC's Peyton Place on Our Private World? Which ATWT scribe truly got what made Lisa tick? And so much more. Fulton also sounds off on daytime execs maddening penchant for putting veteran performers out to pasture in favor of newbies. As if that wasn't enough, Fulton provides fans the opportunity to win tickets to her show via a Facebook contest. This podcast is the ultimate treat for As The World Turns fans still mourning the loss of their iconic soap!
