Norman Gee is back and Radhika Rao is back for the third time on the Yay (check out Episodes 21, 131) – as we welcome guest Tina D’Elia, who is just finishing up her one woman show Overlooked Latinas, which played at Theatre Rhinoceros and closed October 1st. Tina D’Elia is an actor, writer, a performance coach, voice over talent, a casting director and a co-screenwriter. Among other accomplishments, she cowrote the short film Lucha that received the Audience Award at Frameline 33 LGBT Film Festival in 2009 and was also nominated in 2009 for the Iris Prize Award. In this podcast, Tina will talk about when she began her artistic journey, what keeps Overlooked Latinas going, and what plans she has in the future.
