Episode 13 with Heather Capelle
From a farm in Oklahoma with dreams of Broadway and show business, not only did Heather Capelle make it to stage, screen, cruises and Disney . . . but now she’s preparing a new generation. From her story, you’ll hear about Disney University (yes, it’s a real thing), the life of an actor, and her mission as Owner and Artistic Director of Artistree Performing Arts in Mamaroneck, NY. Did life on a farm prepare this Disney Princess to tame the beasts of entertainment? And how do you balance an unpredictable career with the demands of home and family? These are just some of the issues we discuss with Heather.
