Join David and special guest, Jade Breen, for today’s episode of YoungStars.
In today’s episode we talk about Jade’s love for literature and storytelling, Jade's first theatre role as a cheeky monkey and being typecast as cute animals at a young age, the opportunity to play Scout in To Kill a Mockingbird and the realisation that the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, drowning in a pool of blood on stage, and the experience of directing their first short film, She/They? For Light Canberra Action, whilst working on another film at the same time.
We also talk about Jade’s fascination and love for Frankenstein and how calling the monster “a monster” isn’t fair, the creation of Sunny Productions, putting together and marketing their very first play, Happy Meals Happy Kids, on their own, working with writer and actress, Paris Scharkie for their upcoming one woman performance, Have I got your Attention and of course, we talk about identity and the struggles of coming out. Plus stick around for a lovely surprise from an unexpected guest.
