This episode is a recording of a fun & insightful conversation I had with Christina Kleppinger and Jenn Zillioli from Backstage as we discuss things like the important roles they play in the entertainment industry, the long & winding road it took to get there, and what Backstage can do for you! If you’re interested,I’d strongly recommend taking a stroll through the description of this podcast and looking into some of the opportunities Backstage casting can provide for you, whether in front or behind the camera! We go into detail on the resources Backstage makes available so feel free to sit back and wait for those segments before looking in the description. Be sure to follow us on whatever streaming platform you’re currently listening on (Spotify, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, etc), as well as on our social media: @thecsuea on Instagram and Twitter for more updates on things like internship opportunities or insightful panels and interviews such as this one!
