The Ensemblist and TheatreArtLife got together to find out which Broadway cast members are not from the USA. In this International Cast on Broadway Series, we talk to those who have come from all corners of the world to perform in NYC. We ask them about their work, their life and the path they took to living the Broadway dream. This is Oneika Phillips born in Guyana and raised in Grenada.
Acting is hard. That’s something all my actor friends and I can agree on; memorizing thousands of lines, breaking down the script, creating unique, living characters, and letting ourselves be completely vulnerable, naked. How about acting in another country, AND, in another language?
A question I am often asked is how challenging it is to work with different languages and different cultures in events and it is a great topic for conversation. I am very privileged to get to work globally in many countries. Fortunately, English does seem to be the common language when it comes to events.
