In this episode Actress Suzanne Roush remembers her first stage audition at age 9. We discuss how an acting internship at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater was pivotal to her theater career and how getting roles on screen has changed as she’s gotten older. She talks about a long term acting gig job where she wore only a hospital gown. And she’ll tell us how to make her Friday night go-to drink, a Dark and Stormy.

REVIEW: “As accomplished as the cast is, though, this is really Joan’s journey, and Roush has the centerpiece role. She does a superb job of making the character complex and showing how Amanda’s situation is turning her life inside out… After a 10-year absence from the stage, it’s a magnetic piece of acting from Roush, one of the major performances of the summer.”
