Finding Truth in Theater with Lillith era

Lillith Era is a Sapphic actor, musician, dancer, poet, writer, and all-around performer of multiple disciplines. Based in the Bay Area, Lillith has close ties to San Francisco's American Conservatory Theatre and the Berkeley Playhouse. Most recently, Lillith could be seen in the West Coast premiere of Celine Song’s “Endlings” at the Oakland Theatre Project. Prior to "Endlings", Lillith has been seen on the stages of the San Francisco Playhouse, Theatre Rhinoceros, Mills College, and more. Outside of the theatre, Lillith can be found jamming out with her indie band "Kitchenette", scribbling poetry in her journal, or serenading her partner with Broadway's most dramatic ballads.

In this episode we explore beginnings, being a triple threat, and being wildly curious about all the tools of a performing artist's toolbox, the origins of theater for her, formal training vs, getting messy and finding out. Queer voices in theater, protecting ourselves as performers, emotionally and physically. We wander into collaboration, goals, and vulnerability,  the nature of theater as a tool for propaganda vs. emotional truth, "truth", the ethics of which roles performing artists choose to take, and the responsibilities of, maybe not!
