Keeping it all in the family, yeah, always a creepy aspect of royal families, but how does a fraternal relationship off stage impact a familial relationship on stage? Is the competition real, an act, or something in between? How do actors find camaraderie and community in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fierce competition for roles? Find out in this episode as we sit down to talk with fan (and shrew) favorite Justin Marlow, and bright, shiny, and new faces to OSP and seniors at OU, Ethan Walker and Granger Lusk. We’ll also talk about the sibling dynamics in The Lion in Winter: the momma’s boy, his father’s son, and of course, the middle child. Each of these actors learned under Alissa Branch, our queen, so we’ll get the inside scoop into what it’s like transitioning from student to peer.
Please come see The Lion in Winter at OSP opening October 9th and closing the 19th. See the links below for tickets to the show, Tim Grimm’s #1 Folk song “Broken Truth,” and tickets to Theatre Crude’s performances playing through the 11th.
The arts are under attack, and buying tickets is a great way to show your support and fight back.
