What do actors need? ๐Ÿคจ | S9: The HAMLET Project! "Fear & Duty" - Week 1 - Act 1, Sc 1 in The Rehearsal Room


Welcome back to The Rehearsal Room!

Remembering Dawn Didawick

video previewโ€‹

In December, we said goodbye to past guest, Dawn Didawick. I was lucky to learn from Dawn, both onstage and off, in my 20s; both her and her husband Harry Groener have been shining examples of warmth, generosity, playfulness, and commitment. Many will miss her unique and special spirit.

If you knew Dawn (and even if you didn't), I encourage you to check out the wonderful conversation I had with her in 2018. Above is the show on YouTube (audio only) or I re-published it via podcast, so it'll be at the top of the list in your preferred player.

All the best,
