Can somebody tell me why every new show is announcing how important it is? We get to the bottom of this in our latest episode: THE SELF IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST. Featuring more wisdom from our resident therapist, Lisa Gajda, as well as an interview with Broadway choreographer fresh off of staging the Tony Awards, Sarah O’Gleby. 

Workplace safety training.
Anti-bullying training.
Mindfulness training.
The list goes on and on….

Can someone tell me why in order to work in the theatre you need more training than a pediatric neurosurgeon? Why I’ve spoken to more nameless HR representatives than I have actors? Why I’m developing carpal tunnel syndrome from clicking through corporate sensitivity awareness platforms? Let’s talk about why these mind-numbing trainings are actually making the workplace worse in our latest episode:
