Welcome to another edition of The Roundtable on BroadwayWorld! This week we welcome Safiya Kaijya Harris, one of the stars of Our Town, now on Broadway.
Safiya was born and raised in Miami, Florida and is a proud alumni of Carnegie Mellon University. Last summer, Safiya was in the ensemble and understudied “Ophelia” in Hamlet, Shakespeare in the Park. She can act. She talks about her journey to classic pieces of acting, all while still releasing original music, creating art, and living that truthful artistic life.
In the chat we talk about working with Kenny Leon, an ensemble as epic as this, and what it is like to tell a classic story in front of a Broadway audience eight shows a week. This is something that you must see!
