Live From The Pandemic #4: SIERRA BOGGESS

Welcome to the miniseries, The Producer's Perspective LIVE! From The Pandemic. Inspired by my podcast and check-ins with friends, I started The Producer’s Perspective LIVE! I started going live every night at 8pm with a superstar TheaterMaker to check in with them and see how they were doing and how this pandemic has affected them.  Many shared how they’ve been keeping those creative juices flowing, sharing many fun memories, raising money and awareness for The Actors Fund and other charitable organizations needing our support. We even started sharing ‘something to make you smile’ by featuring a new music video one of you in the community produced, directed, wrote, performed in! In this episode, Tony Award-winning Actor Sierra Boggess joins the livestream! We caught up and talked about what it's like to sing/warm up in her apartment every day (with neighbors!!), what her cats think of her being home every day, how she stays creative . . . and whose voice in the industry does Sierra admire the most (besides Barbra!!).
