Today we are sharing with you a favorite series from the blog archives, just in time for audition season! Last year Tiffany Denise Hobbs and StateraArts partnered to bring you a weekly series called “An Actress Prepares”.
StateraArts uplifts and amplifies women artists in all genres, but we also recognize our strong theatre roots. Tiffany’s series offers mentorship for early career theatre artists as well as valuable insight for anyone wanting to know more about what it means to be a working actor. You may know Tiffany from her time on Broadway in Waitress the Musical or from The Public Theater’s Shakespeare in the Park Production of Much Ado About Nothing, which aired last November on Great Performances via PBS. Tiffany is also a proud Statera Ambassador.
Click on any of the episodes below to revisit this wonderful series! And stay tuned because we’ll be posting new episodes soon!
