THD's International Artistic & Cultural Exchange Program presents Alumni Lectures:

Joe Isgar: "How to Succeed Working as a Full-Time Theatre Artist"
Tuesday April 18, 2023 @ 12:30 pm
Alumni Arena 190, North Campus
Free and open to all.
Followed by Q&A.

"When someone asks us how we're doing, we've all said at least once 'living the dream,' but how do you

actually make that happen?

In this lecture, I will discuss my experience as a music director and vocal coach, giving you tips and tricks to book the audition from the eyes of the accompanist. We'll also talk about the Buffalo theatre community, how

to get involved, and the best way to build your resume before you take on the next big city.

Wondering how any of this is financially feasible? I'll be sure to talk about starting my own vocal studio, making money as an artist, and how to survive AND thrive!"
