Manage episode 501630985 series 3575733
It's never easy to put yourself in a vulnerable position, especially when that involves stepping out onto a stage for the world to see. Actors and creatives take massive risks each and every time they put their hearts and souls out for the public to witness, doing so regardless of the reception. It's an act of bravery, showcasing true strength to do so, something that Joey Urreta is exhibiting as he brings his original work to The Ringwald Theatre in Ferndale, MI this weekend! Debuting for the first time tomorrow, A Certain Kind of Light explores topics that have impacted Urreta at different points in his life in what is sure to be an intimate and raw show. We had the pleasure of sitting down with the author, who shared with us how this show came to be and what it's like to share it with the world.
In this exclusive Box Seat Babes interview, writer and star of A Certain Kind of Light, Joey Urreta, talks about his journey with the story and how it has changed (and changed him) over the course of seven years! He also talks about what it's like passing it off to someone else to direct (spoilers: it's a close personal friend of his, who is already familiar with A Certain Kind of Light) and how the story has changed over the years! Have you ever wondered what it's like to give a piece of yourself to the world in the form of an art piece? Listen as Urreta shares what this experience has been like for him and why The Ringwald Theatre is the perfect home for A Certain Kind of Light.
