Mark Curry said today, “I am fascinated by how other performers prepare for shows and how shows and events are put together which is something I am excited to discuss with guests on Backstage Curry. I’m hoping listeners will be interested too and, after listening, will be inspired to donate to, Acting For Others, thereby supporting any industry professionals currently facing financial or emotional challenges.”
