Someone You Love with Abby Thompson

In this episode, I get the pleasure to sit with Abby Thompson, an actor, teaching artist, poet, and emmy-winning voiceover artist. Abby and I talk about what makes children good at theatre, and the ways in which an artist becomes an art-ivist.

We also talk about Abby's newest production of Alex in Windyland, a play that was trasnpired by youth in the foster care system. Finally, Abby gets a surprise love letter from her friend, Lonnae Hickman.

I was so excited to sit down with Abby. I hope you enjoy the episode, and learn more about the artist behind Alex in Windyland.
