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.

KATE REINDERS - From understudy on tour to OG Chicago GLINDA, to High School Musical The Musical The Series’ Favorite Drama teacher, Miss Jen…. Kate Reinders career has stood the test of time.
Did she really take a leave of absence from a Broadway revival in order to do a kids’ show?
Did she really miss a performance of said kids’ show in Minneapolis to fly to London to audition for a different Broadway show? What’s it like doing a sitcom in front of a live studio audience? And what’s the correlation between comedy and music?
Hear about Kate’s youthful confidence, and not taking no for an answer… following her gut… standing up for herself…and what philosophies continue to guide her..
Kate reminds us “It’s all how you think about it…. it’s not life or death…. We don’t really have anything to lose.” She talks about trying to reconnect and remember why you put up with all the stuff that’s not so great in the business.
And her matter-of-fact concept that, “You could get a job that could change everything… or you could not get it and that would change nothing….” so go for it!
Join me as I laugh along with Kate and we “consider the evidence” of navigating a long and winding trajectory in an industry full of twists and turns and disappointments and challenges… and TONS OF WONDERFUL!!!
