Ever wondered how a mimosa brunch could reveal more than just a good time? This episode of Daniel Does brings you a heartwarming reunion with Kae Styron, where we reminisce about our decade-long friendship and the vibrant DFW theater community. From the emotional highs of Ashley Blaine's "Ghost" performance to the hilarity of discovering Kae's histamine intolerance over brunch, our conversation is filled with laughter, nostalgia, and the shared love for performing arts. 

Join us as we explore the allure and challenges of city living for artists, particularly in the Big Apple. Kae's dreams of making it in New York City, karaoke nights filled with Broadway tunes, and a memorable rendition of "Santa Fe" from "Newsies" provide a mix of aspiration and reality. We also recount humorous stage mishaps and reflect on past performances, weaving a tapestry of memories that highlight both the glamour and grit of pursuing a career in the arts.

Finally, we pull back the curtain on the technical side of theater, revealing the magic that happens behind the scenes. From troubleshooting a tricky PVC gate during a "Newsies" performance to the journey from set building to production management, we discuss the importance of teamwork and resourcefulness. Don't miss our fun segment "Tool Time," where Kae tests my tool knowledge, leading to plenty of laughs and witty exchanges. This episode is a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and the authenticity that fuels our passion for theater.
