    Have you ever been "bitten by the bug?" Did it happen as a kid or as an adult? In this episode of "Just Upstage of Downtown," stand-up comedian and bestselling author Aidan Park talks about his journey to "make it" as a professional musical theatre actor, a quest he set aside almost a decade ago -- before a cross-country engagement to play Leo Bloom in Music Mountain Theatre's 2022 run of "The Producers" rekindled his love of musicals. Aidan also discusses the need to be versatile and develop a wide range of skills as an artist, and what he's been doing to further his career as a content creator while overseeing his own charitable foundation.
