We bring back Kimberly Ridgeway (this time live) – she was last on Episode 155, back in June 2020. As always, Kim is busy – acting in the staged reading of Siren, at Shotgun Players (Jan 9 & 10) and then she will be acting in Slow Food at the Altarena (Jan 20-Feb 19). On her IMDB page, she's listed in films like Hopes Identity, The Confession and Robin's Hood. We talk about what’s going on with her, the closing of the Dragon Theatre and what she has planned for the future.
You can reach Kimberly directly via Facebook or Instagram (@khaoss15)
