One of the beautiful things about this past year has been seeing so many of my fellow performers really step into their power and explore their creativity in new and impactful ways. One of my friends who did this so effortlessly, was my girl Emma Degerstedt and her business partner Hannah Jewel Kohn. Prior to the shutdown Emma was in the Broadway bound production of Muriel’s Wedding and Hannah was in the National Tour of Frozen….maybe you’ve heard of it?
With Broadway (and nearly all forms of theatre) shut down, both women found themselves looking for an artistic outlet. Emma was a nanny for a child with autism and began envisioning a series of live streams for kids with special needs. Hannah was looking for a way to bring together Broadway artists to perform in the midst of the pandemic. The two came together to create a new non-profit, Bringing You Broadway.
In this conversation Emma and Hannah share how they’re using art and performance to give back. We openly discuss how Covid has affected the Broadway community, and how learning to trust our own barometer for success has allowed us to become more empowered women.
