The Premiere Podcast

Professional Actor and former High School Football Star, Tony Falk

Actor extraordinaire, best friend and high school football star, Tony Falk joins the show to discuss the actor's life, Noises Off and Death of a Salesman. All this while Casey does his usual bit interruptions. There are laughs to be had as he preps you for Death of Salesman opening May 15-17 at Dada Gastropub and Icon Lounge.  In one of the more serious of conversations Casey and Tony discuss Tony's Sobriety and how acting and his peers have helped him navigate his journey.  If you are in need of help or have a family member or friend that could use help (or even help yourself), please reach out. There are people there to help you and others in a time of need. Sobriety is no joke, it's hard, but worth it.  * SAMHSA National Helpline: Offers free, confidential help for people facing substance abuse issues.  [https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=c0b339f50710dc819bc32bc20446ff1fa04bc53d18d911f717cedd2c0adbad36JmltdHM9MTc3NzkzOTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1abec1ba-e64c-60cc-39af-d4dbe7236100&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FtaHNhLmdvdi9maW5kLWhlbHA&ntb=1]   * FindTreatment.gov: A confidential and anonymous resource for locating treatment facilities for mental and substance use disorders.  [https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=ceb5dd45ddfd3785f0c4b52eb534d0e7d3203743c5270cdab5428d0c033d1bd9JmltdHM9MTc3NzkzOTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1abec1ba-e64c-60cc-39af-d4dbe7236100&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudXNhLmdvdi9zdWJzdGFuY2UtYWJ1c2U&ntb=1]   * iRecover US: Provides holistic, evidence-based treatment for addiction, with options for residential and outpatient care.  [https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=8c7d635a1cd3a97d3084efdd52406e3d069db250be4c22b4246fb1e4bdb7fd09JmltdHM9MTc3NzkzOTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1abec1ba-e64c-60cc-39af-d4dbe7236100&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaXJlY292ZXIudXMv&ntb=1]   * SAFE Project: Offers a treatment locator and a family support locator to help locate treatment options and support for individuals and families.  [https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=208566ea6281e52a52835a841cdfa869b1839731de420e05c54268d600b65ffaJmltdHM9MTc3NzkzOTIwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=1abec1ba-e64c-60cc-39af-d4dbe7236100&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2FmZXByb2plY3QudXMvbG9jYXRvci8&ntb=1]   These resources can provide guidance, support, and access to treatment programs tailored to individual needs. It is advisable to contact these centers directly to ensure they provide the services you require.
