At 5:30 PM on Tuesday RTA Member Jenna Mee Dosch sat down with therapist Rachel Forbes on Cause an Effect to open up the first of many conversations with AAPI members of the theater community and mental health community. After they completed our interview, we found out about the mass shooting at three massage spas in Atlanta, in which 6 out of 8 who were murdered were Asian women. Because we wanted to start these conversations with an RTA team members’ experience first, we also wanted to make sure they shared a few words here today before you listen to their episode. From Rachel and Jenna: While we are in mourning with the AAPI community, we also want to acknowledge our unique positioning within the community as transracial adoptees. Though we can empathize with experiencing microaggressions, fetishization, model minority stereotyping, and overt xenophobia, we also recognize our close proximity to white privilege and thus our disconnect from living in an Asian community with ancestral experiences of systemic racism. It is also worth noting that the transracial Asian adoptee community has consequently experienced perpetual confusion about belonging - i.e., “I’m neither fully white, nor fully Asian.” We hope that our words are heard and understood within this layered context as we grieve with the AAPI community.

Topic: "What it means to be a female entrepreneur in a male dominated entertainment business" Broadway is being dominated by rock musicals. So In 2004, Sheri Sanders put her acting career on the back burner and decided to create Rock The Audition, a musical theatre revolution teaching students and their educators how to successfully audition for Rock musicals with authentic popular music. In 2011, Hal Leonard published her book, Rock The Audition: How to Prepare for and Get Cast in Rock Musicals, and she spent the next 4 years transforming 51 musical theatre programs all over the US. Her students have been on and Off- Broadway as well as competing on The Voice, X-Factor, American Idol, and the Glee Project. This year Sheri teamed up with Broadway producer Hunter Arnold to create Rock The Performance, a web universe for all things popular music as they relate to musical theatre training! Sheri has since gone back into acting to lead by example while she continues to change the face of auditioning for Musical Theatre. www.rocktheperformance.com www.sheri-sanders.com/home/
JBN sits down with Sheri Sanders! A musical theatre actress insisting on her own diversity, and pliability, Ms. Sanders tapped into the ever changing state of Musical Theatre, realized that her greatest love was finding its way onto the Broadway stage, film and television, and now pioneers as the only person to bridge those gaps. She piloted her masterclass, ROCK THE AUDITION, at Pace University, and since then has taught all across America, and is a Rock Musical Repertoire Coach and private audition coach in NYC. Backstage paid a visit to her rock class, wrote an article about her leading a revolution, and the next thing you know, she was asked to create the pilot episode of the reality television show MY TIME on The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN). She was then immediately invited by Hal Leonard books to be the first person to ever write a book on auditioning for rock musicals. In the history of the world.
