It's LUCKY #13 and you are MOST definitely in luck! Today my guest is a brilliant director, educator, and theatremaker, Samantha Saltzman. Wait until you hear about her journey from a young girl in Las Vegas to an accomplished artist working all over the world with some of the best in our industry. Samantha is very inspiring and we are thrilled that NO FUCKS LEFT was her FIRST appearance on a podcast.
For the first time...ever...Landyn finds herself at a bit of a loss for words. In her monologue this week you will hear someone feeling lost, confused, frightened, and angry...as many of us are. Hopefully, this episode can serve as an escape or a bit of a "break" from the stress and provide you with a chance to catch your breath. We are happy to have you here and hope you keep coming back and checking in. Samantha Saltzman Website:
