I was lucky enough to see a wonderful production at Mccarter theatre in Princeton called " Legacy of Light " - and here I get to talk to two of the wonderful actors in it ,Lenne Klingaman and Allen Gilmore . They tell me about their experience doing the play, what it was like for them to act together., some of their process as actors, their trajectory, the ups and downs of being an actor, what they do to help them be in the moment of acting on stage, some memorization tricks, community theater vs professional theater, what they feel like before they go on stage , and the beauty of doing live theatre .

There is a lot to learn from Toni Nagy, one of the most authentic and unique artists that I've ever met. She has so many facets that all lead up to unique self expression and thought provoking insight into the world around us - she is a stand-up comedian, writer, and content creator, most known for her visual videos, where she interpretive dances, her philosophies while participating, gyrating, and questioning culture. She has over 600,000 followers on various social media platforms. Hear her talk about her trajectory, how she uses the mind-body connection to get her points across, and how thinking outside the box is essential for authentic expression and ultimately, radical compassion .
