## Resource

Today, I’m thrilled to announce my interview with two-time Tony nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega, who is currently starring in THE ADDING MACHINE at The New Group. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including the relevance of Elmer Rice’s play, gaining early stardom with RENT, identifying with Magenta in THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, working with Philip Seymour Hoffman on JACK GOES BOATING, starring on screen in SMASH, being directed by Emily Mann in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE, finding her take on Fantine in LES MISERABLES, and so much more. Don’t miss this entertaining conversation with one of Broadway’s best.
