Bringing Up Broadway: Recent Episodes
Amanda Walsh
You have a child interested in Theater, but you aren’t sure what to do next. Join me on my journey with my theater kid as I navigate the world of children’s theater and help her achieve her musical theater goals. In each episode I will discuss all things theater from how to get your child started; auditioning, being cast, tech week and the performance, to the emotional roller coaster of being in a production. Whether you have a child already involved in theater or one that is just beginning, this show is for you. Curtain Up!
In this episode, I'm joined by Presley Duffy - an aspiring make-up artist who assisted with on stage make-up for SpongeBob The Musical. She provides some insight into why it's important for kids to wear make-up on stage and some tips on types and colors to use on your child, along with some tricks on keeping your make-up clean and safe on show days. She even points out a few things I've been doing wrong, giving me items to use instead.

In this episode I will be discussing why it's important to support your friend's children's activities, not just in theatre or even other performing arts but in all activities.
