Host Abbie Campbell presents a special "Curtain Call" episode of Before the Curtain, pulling powerful, educational moments from past guests who work in dance, choreography, casting, and production. Guests share personal journeys—from learning to dance later in life and touring with artists to transitioning into agency and casting roles, building teams like Twerk Team USA, and creating platforms like Boujee Block. They discuss persistence after rejection, ethical business practices, writing clear contracts, dealing with burnout, and the value of mentorship. This episode highlights the passion, resilience, and community that fuel careers in entertainment, and offers practical lessons for anyone pursuing creative work behind and in front of the curtain.
