BWW Interviews: Mollie Sansone, This Dancer's Life

BWW Interviews: Mollie Sansone, This Dancer's Life

by Jeffrey Ellis — May 23, 2011
How do I even begin to describe Nashville Ballet's Mollie Sansone? She's exquisitely beautiful and superbly talented, with a spectacular line and an amazingly athletic yet graceful ability to bring any dance to more vivid life than you might first expect. Okay, I'm a huge fan of Molly Sansone and I ...

BWW Interviews: Jennifer Richmond, A Life in the Theater

BWW Interviews: Jennifer Richmond, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — May 13, 2011
Jennifer Richmond is one of the most fascinating people you could ever hope to meet. Seriously. She's smart and intuitive, to be certain, and her ever-inquisitive mind moves quickly from one subject to the next. In many ways, she is a modern-day Renaissance woman: She's good at very many things. ...
BWW Interviews: Joy Tilley Perryman, A Life in the Theater

BWW Interviews: Joy Tilley Perryman, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — May 6, 2011
Joy Tilley Perryman always seems to be in motion, always busy and rushing from one theatrical venture to another and, somehow, she always has a smile on her face. But don't let that smile fool you: beneath that lovely, gentee and quintessentially Southern facade lies a mischievous soul...so keep you...

BWW Interviews: Ryan Bowie, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — May 2, 2011
Ryan Bowie, now firmly ensconced in his new professional life in Clarksville, Tennessee, made his way southward from New York City to do one show and, thanks to fate, ended up deciding he'd found his way home. Now onstage in the Roxy Regional Theatre's production of The Civil War, the Frank Wildhorn...

BWW Interviews: Jamie Farmer, A Life in the Theater

BWW Interviews: Jamie Farmer, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — April 18, 2011
At first glance, your initial response to Jamie Farmer is to think that she is strikingly beautiful. Her expressive face is framed by a head of gorgeous curls, giving her the look of some famous artist's model, the kind of legendary figure who sent soldiers off to war, inspired great art to be creat...

BWW Interviews: Joshua Waldrep, A Life in the Theater

BWW Interviews: Joshua Waldrep, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — April 13, 2011
Pay no attention to what Joshua Waldrep tells you when you ask him what he thinks about his voice. The man is a master of understatement (no, really, he is...well, sometimes) and for some untold reason doesn't realize that he has an absolutely gorgeous voice. Seriously. At last fall's First Night, t...

BWW Interviews: Nancy Allen, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — April 1, 2011

From the HEART: Bringing the three McGrath sisters to the stage

From the HEART: Bringing the three McGrath sisters to the stage

by Jeffrey Ellis — March 31, 2011
For Beth Henley's Crimes of the Heart to be successful it's vital that you cast three actresses who can convincingly and effectively play the roles of the three McGrath sisters of Hazelhurst, Mississippi. Director Pat Street probably heaved a huge sigh of relief when she saw Melodie Madden Adams, Ev...

BWW Interviews: Alexandra Meister, This Dancer's Life

BWW Interviews: Cori Laemmel, A Life in the Theater

BWW Interviews: Cori Laemmel, A Life in the Theater

by Jeffrey Ellis — March 25, 2011
Cori Laemmel is one of those actresses you're instantly drawn to onstage: When she comes on, there's an indefinable quality about her that rivets your attention to her, regardless of the role she's playing. Offstage? Well, you find yourself in that same, almost indefinable, realm of being unable to ...
