>>> WELCOME BACK. THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING TO YOU,
ALSO, WHAT I'M SAYING TO
SHOSHANA BEAN.
SHOSHANA BEAN. THIS TIME, STARRING IN
WAITRESS, BUT NEXT WEEK, SHE'LL
BE BACK IN OREGON FOR A
FUNDRAISING CONCERT AT
BEAVERTON HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE
SHE WENT TO SCHOOL.
SO SINCE SHE'S KIND OF BUSY,
PERFORMING ON BROADWAY RIGHT
NOW, WE COULDN'T GET HER INTO
STUDIO FOR AN INTERVIEW, SO
INSTEAD, I CAUGHT UP WITH
SHOSHANA VIA FACE TIME BEFORE
SHE WENT ON STAGE.
SO WE'RE IN THE THEATER NOW?
COOL.
COOL.
COOL. >>
COOL. >> WE'RE IN THEATER.
>> THAT'S AWESOME.
>> IT ALL HAPPENED VERY FAST
AND IN A STRANGE WAY, IT WASN'T
EVEN SOMETHING THAT WAS ON MY
RADAR, AND IT CAME OUT OF
NOWHERE.
NOWHERE.
NOWHERE. I THINK THE REASON I JUST SAID
YES, AND SAID YES SO QUICKLY IS
IT WAS SOMETHING I DON'T THINK
I EVER THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE
WOULD THINK OF ME FOR, FOR THIS
ROLE.
ROLE.
ROLE. I
ROLE. I DON'T THINK THAT IT'S A NO
BRAINER BY ANY MEANS.
I THOUGHT, THEY SEE ME LIKE
THAT, THEY'D TAKE A CHANCE ON
ME?
ME?
ME? THAT
ME? THAT SCARES ME, SO I THINK I'LL
DO THAT.
DO THAT.
DO THAT. >> AT THIS POINT IN YOUR
CAREER, THERE ARE STILL THINGS
THAT SCARE YOU?
>> I'M TERRIFIED EVERY DAY.
I TRY TO LIVE IN A SCARED
PLACE.
PLACE.
PLACE. IF
PLACE. IF YOU'RE NOT SCARED, YOU'RE
DOING SOMETHING YOU'RE
COMFORTABLE WITH.
COMFORTABLE WITH. I TRY TO LIVE IN A PLACE THAT'S
A LITTLE BIT SCARY.
>> SO THERE'S A LOT OF PIE.
THERE'S A LOT OF TALK ABOUT
PIE.
PIE.
PIE. IS
PIE. IS THERE REAL PIE ON STAGE?
>> YEAH, THERE'S REAL PIE ON
STAGE, AND IN THE AUDIENCE.
>> WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND
OF PIE?
OF PIE?
OF PIE? >> I LOVE THE TRADITIONAL APPLE
PIE.
PIE.
PIE. WHEN
PIE. WHEN I FIRST STARTED TO SHOW,
THE PIE CONSULTANT MADE ME LIKE
THIS CHOCOLATE MOUSSE KIND OF
THING THAT WAS TO DIE FOR.
AND I STEAL PIES FROM THE PHOTO
SHOOTS.
SHOOTS.
SHOOTS. THERE'S A MARSHMALLOW PIE THAT
IS LIKE AMAZING.
>> THERE'S A PIE CONSULTANT?
THAT'S A REAL THING.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> IT'S LIKE A BROADWAY JOB
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. >>
NOW. >> JUST FOR THIS SHOW,
SPECIFICALLY, YEAH.
SPECIFICALLY, YEAH. >> SO NOW, YOU'RE BACK ON
BROADWAY, BUT YOU'RE ALSO
COMING BACK TO YOUR ALMA MATER,
BEAVERTON HIGH SCHOOL, BECAUSE
YOU'RE GOING TO AGAIN, FOR THE
SECOND YEAR IN A ROW, DO A
FUNDRAISER AND HAVE SOME OF THE
STUDENTS PERFORM WITH YOU.
>> THIS YEAR, I AM OBVIOUSLY
NOT RELEASING AN ALBUM, SO IT'S
MORE ECLECTIC SET LIST.
LOADING THE TALENT WE WERE ABLE
TO FIND FROM THE INSTAGRAM
VIDEO CONTEST.
VIDEO CONTEST. REALLY, WHAT I LEARNED LAST
YEAR, WAS THE CRUELEST PART OF
THE WHOLE THING WAS BEING ABLE
TO INTERACT WITH THE KIDS, WORK
WITH THE KIDS.
GIVE THEM FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE
OF NOT JUST WORKING WITH ME, A
PERFORMER, BUT THEY GOT TO WORK
WITH THE SOUND, AND THE LIGHTS,
AND THE BAND, AND MY ASSISTANT,
AND THE STAGE MANAGER, AND BE A
PART OF ALL OF THE ASPECTS OF
PUTTING ON A HIGH QUALITY
PROFESSIONAL SHOW.
PROFESSIONAL SHOW. I THINK THOSE ARE THE KIND OF
EXPERIENCES, AND OPPORTUNITIES
AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
THAT ARE LIKE INVALUABLE.
IT JUST WAS REALLY COOL TO ME
THAT I CAN DO WHAT I LOVE,
WHICH IS PERFORM, SING, BE WITH
MY BAND, MAKE MUSIC, THAT I CAN
DO IT, RAISE AWARENESS AND
FUNDS FOR SOMETHING I THINK IS
VITALLY IMPORTANT, AND DO IT AT
THE PLACE WHERE THE FOUNDATION
WAS LAID FOR ME.
OUR TWO SPECIAL GUESTS ARE
MICHAEL ALLEN HARRISON, AND
THOMAS LAUDERDALE IS ANOTHER
NEW GUEST THIS YEAR.
THOMAS AND I WILL BE PERFORMING
TOGETHER, THEN A REALLY, REALLY
TALENTED STUDENT WILL BE
PERFORMING WITH MICHAEL THIS
YEAR.
YEAR.
YEAR. >>
YEAR. >> OH, MY GOSH, THAT'S SO
AMAZING.
AMAZING.
AMAZING. >> THERE'S MANY ASPECTS OF IT
THAT ARE GIFTS.
>> YOU HAVE A GIFT FOR
PERFORMING, SINGING, MUSIC,
WRITING, ACTING.
WRITING, ACTING. YOU HAVE PERFORMED JUST FOR
CAMERAS, FOR MUSIC VIDEOS AND
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE THAT YOU
MIGHT BE ABLE TO TELL THESE
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AT THE
SHOW WHEN YOU'RE WORKING WITH
THEM?
THEM?
THEM? HOW
THEM? HOW DO YOU CHANGE PERFORMING
FOR THESE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS, I
GUESS?
GUESS?
GUESS? >>
GUESS? >> THERE REALLY IS NO CHANGE IF
YOU'RE TELLING THE STORY.
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IN LIFE
PERFORMANCE, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE
NOT TO REACT, OR HAVE SOME TYPE
OF A CONVERSATION WITH YOUR
AUDIENCE, TO DEVELOP SOME KIND
OF RELATIONSHIP MOVING FORWARD
WITH THEM.
WITH THEM. THAT IS A LIVING, BREATHING,
CHANGING THING.
CHANGING THING. TO SOME EXTENT YOU HAVE TO
ALLOW THEM TO BE WHERE THEY'RE
AT.
AT.
AT. TO
AT. TO SOME EXTENT YOU HAVE TO DRAW
THEM TO MEET THEM WHERE YOU'RE
AT.
AT.
AT. IT'S
AT. IT'S A LEARNING CURVE, IT'S A
BALANCE, IT'S A RELATIONSHIP.
I'VE GOT TO GET READY FOR THE
SHOW NOW.
SHOW NOW.
SHOW NOW. >> BREAK A LEG, HAVE FUN.
>> THANK YOU.
WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
AND HAVE FUN WITH THE SHOW.
>> I'LL SEE YOU ON THE 25th.
>> SHE'S JUST SO GOOD.
SHOSHANA BEAN AND FRIENDS
