Our next guest is Ronnie Anderson, a person I’ve had the pleasure to share the stage with in Altarena’s production of It’s Only A Play – as the play says, we’re like Romulus and Remus. Our guest host is playwright, novelist and teacher Bridgette Dutta-Portman (previously on Episode 75). Ronnie shares with us his upbringing, how he got into the theatre, his forays in film and how bay area theatre is treating him now.
Ronnie can be contacted directly via email: mothraya@aol.com
Bridgette can be contacted via facebook, instagram or twitter: @bdportman
