Backstage With Becca B. Ep. 149 with Mary Kate Moore

On this episode I talked with Kate about when she realized she could work professionally as a theatre performer, choosing to go to school at OCU to study theatre, her most valuable takeaway from going to school there, playing Grizabella in Cats The Musical on a Cruise, joining the 2016-2017 tour of “Into The Woods”, working with actors and actresses she admires, the intricacies of playing characters in "Into the Woods" and "Les Misérables," focusing on the emotional depth and vulnerability required for characters such as The Baker’s Wife and Fantine, her audition journey for the role of Rachel in MJ the Musical, the personal growth and enriching experience she continues to gain from being a part of the cast of MJ The Musical, the importance of enjoying performances, the unique perspective she brings to the MJ The Musical as Rachel and how it resonates with non-theater-going audiences, the perseverance and dedication required to navigate the performing arts industry, and much more!
