This week on Cocktails at Table 7- Inside New York’s Joe Allen, Dana, Sean, and Jason are joined by the terrific and talented Jen Cody. We discuss the surprising physical perils of “Grease,” the finer points of Joe’s La Scala Salad, the challenges inherent in being an Equity Vice President during a pandemic, and how to make an unforgettable fashion statement with only a handful of Joe Allen menus and some moxie.
Jen Cody is a genuine triple threat who has been a familiar face on the New York stage for the past 25 years. Since 2018, she has been the Second Vice President of Actor’s Equity Association.
