Show Notes
Chiara has appeared in Sweeney Todd, Jerry Springer the Opera, Legally Blonde and Sister Act amongst many other shows. In this conversation we discuss what it was like for her to perform in Come From Away at 37 weeks pregnant and how well the company treated her and any adaptations that were made to accommodate the pregnancy.
Chiara was in a same sex relationship for many years and explains her fertility journey, along with her wife at the time. She is now navigating single parenthood and expresses how difficult it can be to make the decision to be in a show when you are the main caregiver at home.
