In this week\\u2019s episode, I sit down with Donna Garner. Donna Garner is an actor, singer, musician, teacher, and the Artistic Director of Garner Theatre Productions. In our conversation today we discuss her experiences growing up learning several different instruments along with training her voice, the different ways people learn and how she tries to navigate that as a vocal coach/teacher, as well as what made her choose to pursue a performing career professionally and the experiences that lead her to make that decision. We also discuss the rise in actors playing instruments in shows and how this new territory needs to be carefully navigated, the ways in which she is trying to foster a stronger community of actor/musicians through her work with Garner Theatre Productions, as well as future goals for her company and where she hopes to see theatre in Canada headed in the future.
