This podcast puts you inside the mind of the actor to help other actors feel less alone and to educate actors and non-actors alike about the artistic process and expression of acting.
Terry Martin served 17 seasons as Producing Artistic Director of the award-winning WaterTower Theatre in Addison, Texas, where he directed or oversaw more than 150 productions. Under his leadership, WTT grew from a small local theatre company to one of the leading regional theatres in Texas.
