About this listen

 Alyssa Poon has been living and working as a voice actor, narrator, theatre actor and much more since she made the migration from San Francisco to New York City to pursue her undergraduate degree at NYU (go violets!).

Poon's enervating presence translates and moves anyone who beholds her. As we reflect on her performance and interpretation of the character, Puck, from Janani Sreenivasan's recent production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, we also explore what it is to embrace the unknown.

After becoming enthralled with New York's theatre scene and deciding to stay after graduation, Alyssa has performed in Drunk Shakespeare and narrated about a million audiobooks if you Google her name under Audible. Being centered as a performer can be a challenge at times when we become too concerned with what other people -- critics, future casting directors, our friends still in Can- I mean San Francisco -- may think of us.

Poon has been doing this for awhile and her awareness of her strengths and areas for growth speak volumes around her dynamism and professionalism as an artist. I hope to see her in many productions to come, and of course, download some of those audiobooks.
