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.

In this special episode, Katie gets into the nitty gritty of auditioning in New York City -- the highs, the lows, the union, the studios, etc., all helped by actor (Fiorello!, Criminal Minds), dancer (Newsies, West Side Story, A Chorus Line), and friend, Drew Carr.

When it comes to sustaining artistic growth, Barter Theatre in Abingdon, Virginia has been avoiding burnout consistently while outperforming most regional theatres of its kind. Being located in the south comes with its own brand of challenges, but under Richard Rose, the artistic director for over 27 years the theater was led through artistic vision and controversy focused on the quality of the art and the experience of the audience and impact on the community.
