A career in musical theatre is hard, no matter how wonderful your training is or how developed your skills are, because of the vulnerability it requires, the rejection you have to continually face, plus all the fierce competition at every audition, and the head-games and negative self-talk we get into with ourselves. The Mental Game of Musical Theatre is all about helping you persevere through the mental challenges that inevitably come up along the way, while you’re pursuing, building, and maintaining your musical theatre career. Host David Eggers and his esteemed guests - working musical theatre artists at every level and at every point in the journey - share the most intimate details of their experiences while building their musical theatre careers... - the self-doubt - the audition nerves (and ways to handle theme) - the ”almost but not quite” jobs - the dream jobs - the Tony awards - the breaks that seemed like pure luck - the healthy practices - the best advice ever received - things they know now that they wish they knew then ... and so much more in every episode!

JOANN M HUNTER (part 1) - the legend herself! A prolific dancer and performer turned choreographer, Joann’s been dazzling us on stages around the world for many, many years, and she shows no signs of stopping!
Join us to learn about her unique and wild story…from being born in Japan, to dropping out of high school and moving to New York on her own at age 17! Find out what incredible lessons she learned from dancing with Jerome Robbins himself. And just how many times was she typed out for Cats? Do students today even know who Liberace is? And what did a notable director say to her at an intermission that resulted in her giving her notice that very night?
Join me for a joy-filled discussion about Joann’s epic journey, and what she’s learned about both sides of the business. And settle in… it’s a two parter! So, as Joann herself says, “Bring some wine, and listen!”
