Cris Cassell is our next guest on The Yay – she is a director that has worked with many companies in the bay area. I last worked with her for the Texas Chainsaw Musical, done for the Fringe Festival in 2009. Cris talks about what led her to theater, what’s she’s been doing now and what her future projects will be.
Cris can be reached directly via Facebook and via LinkedIn.
We also want to thank Charles Blades Barbershop for sponsoring The Yay! Charles Blades Barbershop is located at 180 Second Street in downtown Oakland. It’s a very cool, relaxing place where you can get your cuts and they’ll even serve you a complimentary drink. Charles is also selling men’s hair products on his website https://cbbgroominingproducts.myshopify.com
Hair Gels, Pomades, Shampoos and Conditioners. Hop online, give the products a try and support minority businesses like my man Charles Blades.
