Show Notes
From Stratford to Broadway, Vanessa Sears has graced many stages, but her latest role in the Canadian premiere of Amanda Wilkin’s award-winning play "Shedding a Skin" is a brand new adventure. In an intimate, one-woman performance set atop a London tower block, the story follows Maya, a young woman grappling with identity, burnout, and the magic of unexpected connections.
This episode is for anyone who loves theatre, believes in the power of personal storytelling, or has ever wondered what it takes to find your voice on—and off—the stage. Vanessa’s honesty, warmth, and insight will inspire you to embrace who you are, build community, and connect, especially when the world feels divided.
