Claire's rising stars presents: Alex Bozanic & Felix Staas SHOW ONLY

SHOW ONLY

Arrival 6.30pm sharp

Facing the challenges of similar voice types, being up for the same roles, and an ever changing standard to live up to, the two find themselves faced with the question: “what have I missed about who I am during the constant pursuit to be the best version of someone else”. When friendship and success are tossed in the ring together, which one will prevail, and can these two friends find a way to prosper amongst an industry that seems to be rooting against them.
