Given my lifelong fascination with musical theater, this made him an obvious choice as a guest for this podcast! And while this episode is chock full of little musical theater tidbits, it\u2019s also a beautiful look at what a lifelong dedication to Great Work looks like. Charlie started doing musical theater as a young man, in college, with his friends. In 1979 he wrote Assassins, which was later produced by Stephen Sondheim and won a Tony. \r\n\r\nAfter working across many different behind-the-scenes roles in musical theater, he started an undergraduate musical theater program at the University for the Arts in Philadelphia. His experiences as an educator and artist led to the development of a signature pedagogy for musical theater performers that he calls the SAVI System. And, for the last ten years, he\u2019s been a composer in residence at the Enchantment Theater company. Listening to Charlie talk about the fire he still has in his belly for even more success in musical theater was inspiring, to say the least. \r\n\r\nJoin us as we discuss: \r\n \u00b7 How to sustain your interest and passion for something highly competitive and full of disappointments\r\n \u00b7 What it was like to be peers with Stephen Sondheim, Jonathan Larson, and other broadway legends\r\n \u00b7 How to juggle multiple interests and areas of expertise in a field usually populated with narrowly focused artists\r\n\r\nResources Mentioned:\r\nJoin the Great Work Community here: amandacrowell.com/great-work-community\r\nClick here to get your own copy of Amanda's book, Great Work.\r\nwww.chasgilbert.com\r\nwww.savisingingactor.com\r\nwww.linktr.ee/chasgilbert","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/313a283b-6a10-4e9e-b302-9771f3eb39d7/HIx_zllGbzFtBAfsSyGlEaUY.jpg"}
