On Mother's Day, I spent the evening speaking with the very talented actress Karen Pittman. Every time I watch Karen perform, I notice her strength first and foremost. In this interview, we discuss three of Karen’s roles on TV and on stage that exemplify strength of character: a determined producer on “The Morning Show” (Apple TV+), a dedicated teacher in “Pipeline” (Dominique Morisseau’s play at Lincoln Center), and an ambitious lawyer in “Disgraced” (Ayad Akhtar’s play on Broadway). In each of these, Karen exudes a fierce spirit and an inner strength that is amazing to behold. Karen’s strength of character extends to her role as a mother too. She was pregnant when she auditioned for her graduate acting program and, since then, her life as a mother and her life as an artist have been entwined.https://www.instagram.com/thekarenpittman/?hl=en See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
