Shake Shake Shake—Classics, Cocktails, and Conscious Casting

Hosts Alexandra Wright and Kodi Jackman spend each episode sipping a cocktail and exploring a new classical character with two guest actors. The actors have been given two weeks to prepare the role as if the day of the podcast recording is the first table read of a production.

So much of what an actor brings to a character comes from their personal life experience and background as a human on this planet. This podcast will examine how different (or similar) a character is when brought to life by two incredible actors of diverse backgrounds. In a push for conscious casting in the world of performance art, Shake Shake Shake highlights the unbelievable depth and breadth that can be brought to a character when actors are encouraged to bring their whole selves to the role.
