Disability representation in theater is still a misunderstood and even avoided topic. But I'm hoping to change that with today's conversation. Meet Brennan Srisirikul, a talented disabled actor, producer, and advocate! We bonded over coffee and the fact that, while progress has been made when it comes to disability and theater, there's still work to do. We discuss everything from how we can tell disabled stories better, auditioning as a disabled person, and how to navigate the topic of disability with kindness. In this vulnerable interview, Brennan makes a beautiful point—disability breeds so much creativity.

Being a “consent-forward artist” or birthing a “care-forward creative space” sounds lovely, but it's a BIG job. The theater industry has historically had a “just push through” mentality. Thankfully, we've seen that begin to shift in the last few years, but not without some damage being done. Leigh Barrett is a beloved Boston-based actor, singer, and director, and she knows all too well the labor of changing what leadership looks like. In this episode, Leigh and I discuss how we (as actors, directors, and theater lovers) can bring more connection and conversation to a production—or even simply bring balance into our own lives. Leigh and I get into all this and more. Press play and enjoy the show!In this episode, you will:Discover how Leigh has taken her experiences as an actor and used them to be an incredible leader and director.Uncover the freedom Leigh discovered in being her FULL, authentic self!Learn what it's like to balance being a mother and an actor.Full show notes here!Mentioned ResourcesThe Last Five YearsConnect with Leigh:WebsiteCONNECT with Kira:@kiratroilo @artandsoulconsulting @inclusivestagesWebsiteBecome a PatronRegister for the first 'Inclusive Stages' cohort certification programJoin our mailing list - scroll to the bottom of the pageThanks for joining me on this episode of Inclusive Stages!

How often do you get asked about your lived experiences? All those moments added up to create the person you are today, yet not all of us are fortunate enough to have people in our world willing to ask questions and listen to what we have to share. But Aaron Michael Ray saw a way to encourage, facilitate, and help all of us heal from conversations just like that.I'm so excited to bring you this interview with my friend Aaron. He's just coming off of the Come From Away Tour, which much of our conversation centers around. It was a call with that entire production that initially sparked the Conversations From Away podcast. The podcast was created to highlight the theater industry's social injustices and bring people together to fight for necessary change. Please enjoy this conversation with Aaron Michael Ray, and stay until the end to see where you can see him on stage next!In this episode, you will:Learn how Aaron went from musician to actor.Discover how Aaron helped kickstart my EDI consultant journey.Uncover the call that inspired the Conversations From Away Podcast.Full Show Notes Here!Connect with Aaron:Conversations From Away PodcastA Strange LoopA Wonderful WorldCONNECT with Kira:@kiratroilo @artandsoulconsulting @inclusivestagesWebsiteBecome a PatronRegister for the first 'Inclusive Stages' cohort certification programJoin our mailing list - scroll to the bottom of the pageThanks for joining me on this episode of Inclusive Stages!

In order to tell a story, we need all aspects of the story. And that includes the difficult and tricky parts, the villains, the hurt. This conversation is real. It's raw. It's incredibly vulnerable. I'm joined by Victoria Omeregie and Jon Vellante in this first roundtable episode. I can't think of two better actors for this conversation. I had the pleasure of working with them for Fairview at Speakeasy Stage in Boston. I hope you'll join us as we discuss what it takes both on stage—but, more importantly, what it takes off-stage from the human being performing these really tough roles. (Spoiler alert: you will hear us share details about Fairview!)In this episode, you will:Discover how establishing boundaries and protocols facilitates safety and connection for everyone.Uncover the value of talking across hard things and coming out feeling like family.Learn how an EDI consultant can positively impact the people and the play.Full Show Notes Here!Connect with Victoria:WebsiteFat Ham at the Alliance Theater in AtlantaConnect with Jon:WebsiteInstagramCONNECT with Kira:@kiratroilo @artandsoulconsulting @inclusivestagesWebsiteBecome a PatronRegister for the first 'Inclusive Stages' cohort certification programJoin our mailing list - scroll to the bottom of the pageThanks for joining me on this episode of Inclusive Stages!
