S4 Ep2: Earth Month Series - Telly Leung

Broadway Gives Back

Our special guest today is Telly Leung, who in addition to his incredible acting career, is an activist. He was born and raised in New York City so the world of theatre and art was always a part of his life. And on this podcast, Telly talks about the importance of sustainable cities, which includes the arts. Telly has been in so many Broadway shows including: Flower Drum Song, Pacific Overtures, Rent, Aladdin, Godspell, and of course, Allegiance. Telly also produces and directs shows and is a proud graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. He passionately believes in the power of “paying it forward” and works to help young performers and supports Arts Education programs.

This podcast is part of a new Earth Month series, called United Nations Global Goals where we talk about tackling the world’s “to do” list to make our planet a better place. I’m joined by my passionate Co-Host Anika Larsen, who was a guest on this podcast last year and introduced me to the Global Goals. Anika is a Tony Award Nominee and a passionate advocate for sustainability and the environment. We decided to work together on this series and bring in guests to talk about the ways in which we all can make small changes for the greater good.
