In this week’s episode, I sit down with Shawn Wright. Shawn Wright is an actor and playwright whose play “Ghost Light” has been produced across Canada by companies such as Tweed & Company, Theatre New Brunswick, and the Charlottetown Festival. In our conversation today we discuss his experiences growing up watching his mother perform in community theatre and the effect it had on his relationship to performing, his path into the industry and what aspects of an actor are inherent versus what aspects can be trained, as well as what he learned from some of his earliest experiences in the industry. We also discuss the ways in which all of us in the theatre community can help to foster stronger connections amongst each other, the duty of established professionals to look out for emerging artists, as well as the creation of his play “Ghost Light” and where he sees theatre in Canada headed in the future.
