the backroom podcast

Walk the Walk presents Sights and Sounds in North Park, San Diego. Amongst the talent and artists there that night was the playwright, Aaron Jafferis, and actor, Joey Auzenne, of a new musical called Kingdom that will take place Feb. 14-22 at the Old Globe Theatre. Jafferis and Auzenne join DueRight and DJ Intern Two and discuss where Jafferis got inspiration to write his play. Jafferis said that the two main characters of the show are inspired by two of his friends that became victims of street life. The hip-hop/rock musical tells a story of their friendships and how they change and develop as well as the people that are surrounded by them. In addition, Jaffaris also talks about his passion for theatre. Auzenne talks about how he landed his role in Kingdom as well as his character in the musical and shares his experience with The Backroom Crew. Although an opera major, he is also a lyricist. He even drops a flow during the interview. Download or listen to the audio to hear the interview in it's entirety. -Katalyst.
