Originally from Tennessee, Jamil Chokachi has acted in and directed a wide range of productions in NYC & LA, from acting in the National Tour of Cabaret to directing message-driven productions of Marat/Sade & Animal Farm. Over the past decade, his artistic mission as a director has been greatly influenced by his own heritage, as he saw U.S. military involvement spread throughout the Middle East.
For this week's episode, Anthony spoke with Jamil about acting in NYC & LA, the ways in which his Iraqi heritage informed with directorial approach, the differences between directing live and in-person theatre, and more!
