On this episode I talked with Jade about the moment they knew they wanted to perform onstage in theatre for a living, the first professional show they ever saw, when they came to the realization that they could sing, friends who have supported them throughout auditions, Jade’s favorite show they’ve performed in regionally and why, why regional theatre is special to them, Stage West Calgary in Canada, their audition process for Jagged Little Pill on tour and the hype surrounding the cast announcement for the tour, getting to rehearse alongside the entire cast, non-binary representation in the theatre industry + onstage, how they make the character of Jo authentic and relatable, singing You Oughta Know by Alanis eight times a week, their dream roles which include Orpheus in Hadestown and Elphaba in Wicked, and much more!
