Join your favorite podcast hosts Jason A. Coombs and Samantha Tuozzolo , on the latest episode of Survival Jobs, as they chat with the incredibly talented and charming Isabelle McCalla, who is currently starring as ‘Marlena’ in the hit Broadway production of Water for Elephants, which received seven Tony Award nominations including Best Musical this week! Isabelle shares not only about a few of her wacky survival job experiences from early in her journey, but also about why Water for Elephants has resonated so deeply with audiences and critics alike, where she was when she received the call she would be making her Broadway debut as ‘Princess Jasmine’ in Aladdin, and how the Broadway community can continue to be more inclusive of diverse stories and storytellers!  
Before closing out with a fun game of Broadway Circus Show Trivia, Isabelle shares how she hopes to inspire the next generation of women artists! Tickets are available for Water for Elephants at the Imperial Theater box office or online here.  
The episode opens with Samantha and Jason encouraging filmmakers to submit their short films and screenplays to the upcoming Bridgeport Film Fest and some of their favorite Tony Award nominations.
