We're baaaack! Welcome to Season 3. We're returning to your pod queue with in-demand actors Bobby Moreno and Steven Boyer. You've seen them on stage and screen, most recently in The Burning Cauldron of Fiery Fire by Anne Washburn (Bobby) and Mother Russia by Lauren Yee (Steve). Over the years, they've become usual suspects of the EST stage -- from Youngblood Brunches to mainstage productions like Hand to God and Year of the Rooster. In our conversation, we talk about what makes them "go-to" actors for new play development, how they handle the ups and downs of the biz, and what keeps them going. Thanks for re:member-ing with EST Re:Members!
