Not only is it a colossal challenge trying to spark a career in film and television, but once you get there, the pressure rarely lets up.
It all began with something McNamara lucked into — being raised in a city with a thriving theater community. Here’s what she said about Kansas City’s lasting impact on her: “The job that brought me to LA was the first time Disney Channel tried to do High School Musical the Series, and at that time it was called Madison High, and it was about 13 years ago now. Ms. Darbis went to a different school and created a new drama program, and of course it was the TV version of High School Musical basically. All the character archetypes were the same, but just different people.
Another vital influence McNamara found along the way? A theater mentor who’d ultimately shape McNamara’s approach to auditions and all the industry’s ups and downs. She recalled: “When it comes to this year specifically, everything's changing at The CW, everything's changing in television in general, and there are so many options and opportunities and unorthodox ways in which shows stay, continue, get canceled, get renewed somewhere else entirely. I have become so resigned when it comes to these things. I just leave it up to the television gods. I've gone, you know what? I've put my heart and soul into this show.
