Backstage with Becca B.

On this episode I talk with LA theatre legend Dionne Gipson about when she knew she wanted to be a performer, the moment people discovered she could sing growing up, her music inspirations like The Clark Sisters, Donny Hathaway, Whitney Houston, Prince, and more, what inspired her to go to graduate school for theatre, booking Dream Girls at 14th St. Playhouse in Atlanta, Georgia, going on tours with artists like Keith Sweat, signing to a major music label with her rock band ‘Edith’s Wish’, what brought her to Los Angeles, how she got involved with LA theatre, finding out about and joining the group of @ftrlive talent, getting to watch and be a part of For The Record Live’s growth in the LA community, how she met Bradley Bredeweg and got involved with his shows Invincible and Scissorhands Musical, why Scissorhands Musical is able to successfully reopen every holiday season in LA since 2019, what makes Scissorhands Musical a good show to see this holiday season, and MUCH MORE!
