LESLIE ODOM JR.’S RISE TO REVOLUTIONARY

Patience is Aaron Burr’s vice, as expressed in his now famous refrain, “wait for it, wait for it.” But let’s be clear, Leslie Odom, Jr.—the actor who plays Burr in Hamilton…

HISTORY HAS ITS EYES ON DAVEED DIGGS

HISTORY HAS ITS EYES ON DAVEED DIGGS

There’s a recurring lyric in Hamilton that goes, “In New York you can be a new man.” It’s poignant, to say the least. Taylor Swift wrote an entire song about the idea, “Welcome to New York.” But Hamilton manages to get the point across in only nine words—such is the genius of Lin Manuel Miranda. Like any writing, the line is effective because it’s true. “In New York you can be a new man.” No one…

A LAUGH WITH LEA DeLARIA

A LAUGH WITH LEA DeLARIA

Lea DeLaria is exactly who you think she is: completely and utterly herself. There is not a bone of inauthenticity in her body—a rare quality for someone who pretends for a living. Lea loves the spotlight and is not afraid to admit it. Over her 34-year career, Lea has excelled in pretty much all performance pursuits under the sun. To call her a triple threat would be an understatement. She’s a…

People tell you, “Oh it’s really hard” and of course it is. But if you have a burning passion to do something, commit to that 100% and work as hard as you possibly can on pursuing that passion. That commitment will either lead you to what you think you want or lead you to something you didn’t even know is out there. By just following that passion, it will lead you to something you’re supposed to do. A lot of people and a lot of people’s parents tell them, “Well you need a plan B.” I’m not a believer in plan B. I don’t think there can be a plan B. There can only be a plan A and then Plan A will lead you to a different plan, maybe, that you don’t even know about. To be acting out of fear is something that I think a lot of people who want to be artists battle with and I know I did as a young person. I learned that…even if you do exactly what you think you want to do, it never looks like the thing you thought it was going to look like, it looks different. You may achieve your dream in the way you thought of it, it will probably lead you to another dream you probably didn’t know about. That’s the thing I think is most important for young aspiring artists.
