Backstage Talk podcast

Backstage Talk

Backstage Talk, hosted by Colombian performing artist Martín Acuña, features the voices of those entertainment professionals who are backstage, not under the spotlight. We amplify those who create the shows we love: ensemble and company performers, producers, teachers, writers, stage managers, directors, and more, while also trying to bridge the gap between Colombia’s Musical Theatre Industry and Broadway. Made by someone who lives and breathes Musical Theatre, this podcast untangles what someone needs and what it takes to get to Broadway. Instagram: @backstagetalkpod
