BEHIND THE LENS listeners and ANDI MACK fans are in for a treat today as we welcome JOSHUA RUSH back to the show!
Last time Joshua was with us was to talk about his feature film, BREAK POINT. But a lot has been happening to this young star since then. In addition to voicing one of your favorite characters in the Disney animated series THE LION GUARD, Joshua is now one of the stars in Disney Channel’s newest hit, ANDI MACK. Not just one of my favorite young actors, but one of my fave people, Joshua is live at the half-hour point talking all things ANDI MACK (including the terrific fans), the art of voice work versus live action, red carpets, the La Miniatura clothing line, and his future – which includes college (Ivy League or Top Ten) and possibly . . . politics!!! JOSHUA RUSH is a man on the move and you’ll want to hear everything he’s got to say!
And we go back to TCM CLASSIC FILM FESTIVAL to hear what some of the experts on hand this year had to say about restoration and preservation of film, including nitrate films, of which five were shown at TCMFF 2017!
But before we jump into the show, BTL brings you exclusive breaking news on S.T.A.G.E. LA. A beloved and cherished fundraiser for the benefit of AIDS patients and AIDS PROJECT LA for the past 33 years, after this year’s benefit on May 13th, the curtain falls for the final time. The longest-running annual AIDS fundraiser in the world, S.T.A.G.E. LA is going out with a bang. This year’s theme is “Idols & Icons” and in addition to the already announced cast, including our friend the legendary CAROLE COOK, DALE KRISTIEN (who played Christine for four years in “Phantom of the Opera” at the Music Center) and Tony nominee BILL HUTTON, all three of whom were in the very first S.T.A.G.E. LA benefit (and many subsequent ones), will return for this grand finale. Stay tuned to BEHIND THE LENS as we welcome some of the S.T.A.G.E. LA performers over the coming weeks.
