Inclusive STAGES: Building Healthy Arts Spaces Ups & Downs of B'way Behind-the-Scenes & Reclaiming “Fat” w/ Katy Geraghty
When discussing inclusion in musical theater and the arts, body diversity must be a part of that conversation. Actors come in all shapes and sizes—with all of the lived experiences that go along with their bodies. The audition process can be a source of trauma—or inspiration! The performances themselves can be hurtful—or empowering! My guest today, Katy Geraghty, is a New York-based actor, performer, and teacher. And as a self-proclaimed fat woman she’s on a mission to take back the power of words and highlight the talent that is within each one of us! Katy and I chat about everything from Broadway auditions and acting alongside a star-studded cast to life on tour and her scariest performance. Press play and enjoy the show, theater friend!
