This season on my podcast, Baring It All with Call Me Adam, I am spotlighting My Entertainment Idols.

Today I am catching up with three-time Emmy Award Winner Cady McClain, who you know for playing Dixie Martin on ABC's Soap Opera All My Children & more recently, Pamela Curtis on CBS' Daytime Drama, Beyond The Gates!

Cady & I last spoke in 2024 when she was starring in Austin Pendleton’s play Orson’s Shadow and now I am thrilled to be speaking with Cady once again as she returns to the theatrical stage to be directed by Austin Pendleton in Walter John Thompson’s What Happened Was which will be playing in the Chain Theatre’s Summer One Act Festival for 3 performances ONLY!

In this NEW interview, Cady is Baring It All with Call Me Adam about:

• How she got involved with What Happened Was
• When she has felt unseen & how she made herself more visible
• Advice she would give someone on working with their ex
• How Austin Pendleton elevates her as an actress
• So much more

In What Happened Was, a dilapidated bar that flickers between memory and imagination, two actors trapped in an endless loop confront love, regret, and the fragile line between reality, performance and the unbearable silence of being unseen.

Directed by the legendary Austin Pendleton, What Happened Was will play 3 performances ONLY - July 22, 2025, August 1 & 2, 2025.
