      #12 - Joshua and Kira Turchin
      Jan 21 2021
      This episode features Joshua and Kira Turchin. Joshua has been called a musical-theater wunderkind; at only 13, he is a singer, actor, dancer, writer, composer, multi-instrumentalist and podcast host. Kira, as his mom, has supported all his endeavors, from his early performing experience in Camp Broadway to professional auditions, encouraging him to “just have fun” and not let rejection get him down. Having become a performer after honing his precocious musical skills—before he could reach the piano keys, he would embellish his dad’s playing by copying his rhythms—Josh stresses the importance of being a “multi-hyphenate,” and developing as many different skills as possible: “You never know what they’ll want and you never know what you want, so you just do what you want, so you just do what you love,” he says. “I do think a bunch of kids from my generation are taking this to heart.” Kira also notes how Joshua has matured as a result of his experiences: “We used to say that everything you need to know to be successful in life, you’re learning through theater, and I truly believe that.” A proud member of the Broadway Podcast Network.

      Jan 14 2021
      This episode features Jenna Gavigan, who has been acting professionally for more than half her life. She made her Broadway debut in Sam Mendes’ acclaimed revival of Gypsy and has appeared on screen and on stages across the country. A Columbia University graduate, she’s also a writer, the author of the middle-grade novel Lulu The Broadway Mouse and Lulu The Broadway Mouse: The Show Must Go On. A fourth-generation New Yorker, she started auditioning in primary school and experienced disappointment (which inspired Lulu’s story) before being cast in a show starring Bernadette Peters and a movie starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney, which led to more movie and TV work. “I am very good at crying as an actor, and that has served me very well in the television and film world,” she quips. While she acknowledges that stage and screen work pose different challenges, she says, “In the end, it’s all about listening and understanding your place in the scene, and your character’s place in the scene.” A proud member of the Broadway Podcast Network.

      This episode features Justin Greer, a performer, choreographer and educator who has eight Broadway productions to his credit, and is also a full-time arts specialist at New York’s prestigious Dalton School, where he teaches dance and theater to students in kindergarten through third grade. Pegged as a talented singer at an early age, he was soon bitten by the musical theater bug; he would dance around the house listening to cast recordings, while taking part in high school productions gave him a “bold sense of being bigger than oneself.” He began auditioning for local productions in Pittsburgh while still studying at Carnegie Mellon University and soon found himself cast in dance roles. As a teacher, he views dance as a form of self-expression— “I believe that movement is a child’s first language”—and believes that professionals “also need to be able to express themselves and further the narrative using whatever the discipline is.” He also stresses the communal nature of theater, as an intensely A proud member of the Broadway Podcast Network.
