Born into a show business family, Danny Robinson is Senior Vice President at Agency for the Performing Arts (APA), and has more than four decades of being a premiere talent agent.

Born in the island of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Alroy is a 25-year-old third year student of the University of Trinidad and Tobago, currently enrolled in the Academy for Performing Arts(APA), specializing in the Theatre Design and Production program. Before coming to Trinidad, Alroy has been involved in productions mainly through Houses of Worship. At his home church in St. Vincent, Alroy served in the capacity of FOH Audio Engineer since 2012. Transition into a new facility and through production upgrades, his skills have expanded and allowed him to delve into lighting programming and operating as well. In September of 2016, his acceptance into the APA was a bold step and was made to further his technical knowledge and skills. Since then, he has been able to get exposure and experience in professional larger-scale productions both inside and outside of the APA. This has also introduced him into the field of Stage Production Management, which can now be considered as my primary focus. Facebook: Alroy Harry Engineering

I took a detour into male ally-ship and spoke with Matt Birch. Matt is a partner at the Agency for the Performing Arts (APA) and is a co-head of the physical production department. He came up through production, reluctantly became an agent in 2009, and makes sure to bring a little something different to the art of agent-ing.  I met Matt while recording for the soon to launch podcast called Catch A Break – which is the insider's guide to breaking into and navigating Hollywood (which you're going to want to know about, click here to subscribe so you will be notified when it launches.) During that interview, Matt mentioned he was on the men's committee of #TimesUp, which as you can imagine made my ears perk up and I immediately booked him for this show to dig a little deeper. This corresponds with the feeling I have been having that it is time to start bringing men into the conversation and engaging them in the process toward equality. Matt is one of the men who are actively evolving and trying to be part of the solution. We talked about #MeToo/TimesUp and harassment, hiring practices, the wage gap, how men are talking to each other, and a little bit about how men can hold each other accountable in ways that will be effective.
