This week on the podcast is part two of our interview with Jerrilyn Duckworth. She founded Bridging the Gap in 2019. It’s a company that focuses on hair & makeup issues that plague BIPOC students and performers in the theatre industry. Jerrilyn dives into the history of hair & makeup, wig prep on natural hair textures, correct language, products, and practical applications that would set any performer or creative artist up for success. Her goal is to create an inclusive environment for all performers.
Her designs have been on the stage at venues such as the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival, Indiana Repertory Theatre, Ensemble Theatre in Cincinnati, and the Oklahoma Shakespearean Festival. We hope you'll tune in to hear Jerrilyn share her wisdom on a variety of theatrical topics! https://bridgingthegapintheatre.com/
