At Tisch School of the Arts, we strive to seek out and celebrate every unique voice representing our community. We are happy to announce a new platform for such acclaim, an interview-based podcast series, Cycle of Tisch.
Cycle of Tisch is a forum where students, alumni, and faculty of Tisch can get to know each other through personal reflections about art, life, and dreams in conversation with Shanga Parker, Associate Arts Professor in the Department of Drama. Tisch is "an amazing place populated by amazing people" and Cycle of Tisch aims to bring our School together, one interview at a time.
In our first episode, Shanga speaks with Isaiah Johnson, an Actor and Alumnus from the Graduate Acting Program.
Isaiah has appeared on and off Broadway with Al Pacino and Dan Sullivan in The Merchant of Venice, Kevin Spacey and Sam Mendes in Richard III (and the Netflix documentary NOW), Kelli O’Hara and Michael Greif in Far From Heaven, the eternal Roger Rees and Alex Timbers in Peter and the Starcatcher, Lin-Manuel Miranda and Thomas Kail in Hamilton (lab production), and on various projects with Norm Lewis, Bill Condon and Randy Newman. He has also been a guest star on CBS' "Person of Interest" and the Cinemax series "The Knick."
We hope you enjoy and be on look out for new Cycle of Tisch podcasts coming soon!
