Hello Broad-WHAT? fans and welcome to the third episode in our “Artists Graduating During COViD-19” series! This week we will be featuring just two guests, so it’ll be a bit of a shorter one. First up we have the lovely Ray Koh followed by the amazing Nao Marine. Ray (he/him) is based in Coquitlam and is a recent graduate of the Studio 58 acting program in Vancouver. He has a really interesting origin story with theatre, because he had to convince his very traditional parents that theatre was the right thing for him. And wait until you hear the heart stopping story about his Studio 58 audition. I was holding my breath just listening to it! Find him on Instagram and Twitter: @_raykoh Finishing up the episode, we have another new friend, Nao Marine. She is Japanese, and has been in Canada now for six years. She has been studying musical theatre casually since she was eight years old, and at sixteen she made the self described “reckless” choice to go across the world to pursue theatre in English for the first time. After spending one year at a regular high school to help her English language skills, and one year at the Langley Fine Arts School, she auditioned for, got accepted to and graduated from Capilano University’s musical theatre program. Find her on Instagram: @naomarine_ This is a really interesting episode featuring two folks with very unique backgrounds and stories, so I hope that you enjoy listening as much as I did recording! Thanks as always for your support, and stay tuned in a couple of weeks for a return to our regular episodes!
