Actress Suzanne Roush regales us with funny stories of working in theater and how the booming movie industry in GA has been great for her since her hair turned gray! She’ll tell us what a standardized patient is. Hint: It’s a job… and it’s pretty fascinating. And we'll be sipping on her favorite cocktail, the Dark and Stormy.
In this episode Actress Suzanne Roush remembers her first stage audition at age 9. We discuss how an acting internship at Atlanta’s Alliance Theater was pivotal to her theater career and how getting roles on screen has changed as she’s gotten older.

THEATRE
Ravens and Seagulls: Essential Theatre (2014)

REVIEW: “As accomplished as the cast is, though, this is really Joan’s journey, and Roush has the centerpiece role. She does a superb job of making the character complex and showing how Amanda’s situation is turning her life inside out… After a 10-year absence from the stage, it’s a magnetic piece of acting from Roush, one of the major performances of the summer.”
