Welcome to Tea Time with Mikayla, a warm, smart conversation series hosted by performer, comedian, and creator Mikayla Petrilla. Equal parts tea party, truth-telling, and theatre salon, the show sits down with artists, creatives, representatives, casting directors, producers, writers, and culture-makers to explore the stories behind the work.

In this teaser, Mikayla shares the heart behind the series: why the industry is changing, why community and connection matter, and why she’s putting on her Nancy Drew meets Harriet the Spy hat to ask the questions artists are itching to ask.

The kettle is on. Tea Time is officially brewing.
