Relationships, Race, & Reviving Curiosity with Jared Troilo

Inclusive Stages

At work, Jared and I try to stay as far apart as possible because he’s the actor and I’m the EDI consultant. This is Jared, as in Troilo—my husband and father to our son, Levi! This conversation is a huge treat for us! Join us as we discuss Jared’s 20+ year acting career, parenting in the theater industry, relationship building, the importance of curiosity, and the behind-the-scenes of starting my company and this podcast! It’s been quite a wild ride, and as we close out Season 1 of Inclusive Stages, I’m so thrilled to be able to have this open, honest, and vulnerable conversation with Jared. You definitely won’t want to miss this episode—especially the personal life update we share! Enjoy the show!

In this episode, you will:

1. Uncover how conversations with Jared during the 2020 racial reckoning inspired Kira’s EDI work.
2. Discover the benefits of raising children in and around the theater community.
3. Learn how we can create rooms where disagreement is—and still create a culture of belonging.
