We recorded this episode when the west coast fires were raging all up and down California, Oregon, and Washington state in Sep 2020. We talked about Amy's journey to becoming a stage actor as well as what her world looks like today as a company member for Oregon Shakespeare Festival (https://www.osfashland.org) (OSF) during COVID-19.
One thing we talked about during this episode is how much the arts bring into the U.S. economy every year — on average, $877B is added to the economy, it employs 5.1M people, and is 4.5% of the GDP.
Stay tuned until the end of the episode for a funny bit of tape about the "Scottish play". Special Guest: Amy Kim Waschke.
