Karissa Murrell Myers (she/her) is a Filipino-American theatre artist based out of Chicago. She was also named American Theater Magazine's 2020 Roll Call: 13 Theatre Workers You Should Know for her work in casting. In our conversation, we cover the differences between NY, Hawaii, and Chicago theater scenes, why diversity is so important to her, going to college at 16 years old, beating out every white guy who auditioned for Iago in a Chicago production of The Scottish Play, playing Lady Nijo in Top Girls, not just in Chicago but also in Milwaukee, and her dream of creating a theatre company that fosters and grows artists - and how it may have come true!
Trigger Warning: discussions of weight, numbers in pounds, eating disorders, cutting, alcoholism.
