From New York to New Mexico, Debrianna Mansini found her happy place in Santa Fe and has been working ever since. On this week's episode we discuss how to develop your one-woman show, how to build a whole world around the few lines you're given, and how we can and must stay in touch with our collaborators.

Studied with such greats as Kim Stanley, Jose Quintero, Edward Albee, and most recently Alan Arkin and Laura Gardner of the Howard Fine Studio, Los Angeles

AMC's Breaking Bad

QUOTABLE TAKE-AWAYS
"Whenever people ask me [...] how to get started, the first thing I'll always say is 'If there's anything else you would rather do--anything--do that first.' Because this is hard. And you have to be driven and it has to be what wakes you up in the morning and what allows you to breathe. And if it's not that, it's hard. You have to want this with everything that you have, because it's not an easy career."
"[Create] a world around the lines"
