In today's episode a special friend from Rockwell Table and Stage joins me in the podcast, Lana McKissack. Lana is an actor, singer, dancer, and on occasion a transformer. I had the pleasure to watch Lana, alongside the stellar cast of the UMPO productions, perform weekend after weekend.

Now she's here at The Y the F Not Podcast and I can't tell you how great it was to catch up with her. She shared her early beginnings as a young child actor in commercials, cult classics like, Four Rooms, and what she's been up to this past Halloween season with Horror Camp at the Bourbon room.

In today's Episode we have a Rockwell Table and Stage legend, Natalie Lander. I had the pleasure to watch Natalie in many Rockwell shows like UMPO (Unauthorized Musical Parody Of) Home Alone and UMPO Bridesmaids. Natalie and I had a blast talking about astrology, what this generation's new faith is, who the funniest person from Rockwell is, and her future Hanukkah Romcom that she cowrote with Mike Zara. Also, we get into some deep topics such as death and the grieving process and the importance of processing those feelings. So now, sit back, relax(maybe you're driving to see the family so don't relax too much), and enjoy the latest episode of The Y the F Not Podcast.

In today's episode I got to catch up with a dear friend from my days back at Rockwell Table and Stage, Ashley Balderrama. I met Ashley when I was working the host stand and she was working in the producers office. Since then she's followed her passion behind the camera and has been capturing memorizing images all across the greater Los Angeles area as a photo Journalist. Ashley has captured portraits of a families for graduation events, family photos, and even protests against police brutality. Her book Get Your Boot Off My Neck is "A series of images documenting the events of August 21st 2020 in Tujunga, Los Angeles." I hope you feel as empowered as I do after this conversation with Ashley, who continues to push back and go where no Latina Photojournalist has gone before.

I cannot wait to share all of the team's artistry with the world!” In March 2021, SWINGIN' WITH THE MUSIC OF BROADWAY will release on all music streaming platforms. Special guest vocalists have yet to be announced.

Listen in as Will and Wendy talk with cast members and discuss their experience before, during intermission, and after the show. Special thanks to Jonah Platt, Jordan Kai Burnett and Parvesh Cheena for taking the time to speak with us! About the show: Found isn’t just based on a true story — it’s based on hundreds of them! When lost and broke Davy, played by Jonah Platt (Fiyero in Wicked on Broadway, NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar Live with John Legend) happens to find a peculiar note meant for someone else on the windshield of his car, it sparks an outlandish idea to collect the hilarious and revealing notes and letters that surround us every day. Along with friends Denise (Jordan Kai Burnett, seen in the national tour of Seussical and a Scenie award-winner for the title role in Scissorhands at Rockwell Table & Stage) and Mikey D. (Mike Millan of Broadway’s Escape to Margaritaville, national tours of Sister Act and Piece of My Heart), he’s quickly swept up into a wild, comedic mission to share them with the world. Found is a raucous exploration of human connection and the beautiful weirdness in all of us.

Strength Level: The Baritone Today’s strength level is “the baritone” for so many reasons…but mainly, because I have the freakin NYC based group “BARITONED” on the dang show!!! Edward Miskie, Joe Hager, Kyle Hines, and Dan Pardo are ALLLL here in the studio to horse around with Ryan, talk about how they found each other, how fun it is to walk around the globe as a herd of tallmen (one word purposefully), and SO MUCH dang more. You’re in for a real treat! In addition, Ryan even got them to give you guys a couple little snippets from the show they are currently touring called, “I Hate Men - the damsel in distress tour!” If you hear this on the day that the episode is released, RUN to see the show at Rockwell Table and Stage at 8PM, or go directly to San Francisco for their show tomorrow!!! If you DON’T hear this today, then run to social media and follow “Baritoned” in any way that you can possibly find them (@youhavebeenbaritoned)!!! What a true delight it was to have these guys in studio, and even better to call them my new friends. I’m sure you’ll agree with this sentiment after you’ve listened. OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY: Every once and awhile, it’s fun to look at your pet and think, “how weird is it that we live together in inter-special harmony”. If you don’t believe me, give it a try.

Danielle Moné Truitt was destined to entertain. She is the true definition of a Triple Threat. The actor, singer, and dancer hails from Sacramento, California where she studied Theatre and Dance at Sacramento State University before moving to Los Angeles to pursue a career in television and film. Truitt got her start in theatre, but is now starring in the lead role as Rebecca "Rebel" Knight in the new John Singleton Drama series Rebel on BET. The series centers around Truitt's character, Rebel, an Oakland police officer, who struggles with life and career after her brother is killed by police and delves into the complexities of officers of color and the conflicts they have with their jobs, particularly now, while there is scrutiny over misconduct and police brutality. Recently, Truitt was nominated for two Ovation Awards; the first for her performance as a lead actress in a play for The West Coast Premiere of The Mountaintop and the second, for her role in Dreamgirls. She packed the Rockwell Table and Stage venue for her self-produced one woman show Overnight Success, and also recently performed her one woman play, 3: Black Girl Blues to sold out audiences at the United Solo Theatre Festival in New York. Some of her other stage credits include In The Heights, Neat, Aida, A Raisin in the Sun and Hair. Truitt has appeared on TV in guest starring roles on ABC's Super Fun Night and FOX's Mulaney. Her film experience includes her role as Kay, in FOX Digital's feature film ETXR. Truitt made history when she joined the cast of the Academy Award Nominated Animation The Princess and the Frog as the video reference for Princess Tiana. She performed the body movements and facial expressions for the Disney Princess, ultimately giving Princess Tiana her persona and essence as well as performing a voice for another character in the film, Georgia. Aside from performing, Truitt is a wife and mother of two young sons. She has a heart for people and for promoting change in our communities. Because of this, she started the BE. ETERNAL: The Thriving Artist Series that serves the artistic community by providing emotional and spiritual support. She produced an event entitled #MoreThanAHashtag - a night of open discussion and performance surrounding the misuse of police force and our role in activism to rekindle awareness towards injustice. Truitt truly believes that art has the ability to speak loud and to change the hearts and minds of people. She also partners in ministry with her husband at THE LIVINGROOM in Van Nuys, California. Their ministry works with Hope of the Valley to provide meals and encouragement to the homeless community in the San Fernando Valley, and they have worked with foster youth and boys' homes. Truitt and her husband hold a monthly music/poetry/comedy event called MY FIRST FRIDAYS, where artists from all over come to perform. It has become one of the most popular events in Southern California. Truitt is managed by Cheryl Martin at CMA Entertainment. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/theactorslounge/support

Or the woman who’s been a series regular a few times but is only now becoming a name? What about the guy who’s been on a show for years and you know his face but what’shisnameagain? Or that actress who is now a freakin’ showrunner???? How’d THEY do it, right? How did they transition from relative obscurity, bartending and bottle service, to buying that house in Brentwood? We’re producing “Kahnversations,” a podcast that provides access to THOSE people -- your immediate predecessors -- so that you can learn from them while their battle scars are still fresh. In “Kahnversations,” our own Ryan Bailey interviews some of Lesly Kahn & Company’s working actors, directors, and writers in order to learn how they got started in Hollywood, the challenges and hurdles they faced, and how they overcame the odds. (They also dish out some crazy stories!) Listen in and enjoy as these entertainers speak candidly about their paths, processes, and experiences. You might even hear a bit about how Lesly and the Kahnstitute have influenced and shaped their careers.
