Alex in Windyland with Abby Thompson

🎙️ EMMY WINNER IN THE BUILDING!
On this week’s episode, I sit down with the incredible Abby Thompson — an Emmy™ Award-winning voiceover artist, performing artist, and teaching artist whose work lives at the powerful intersection of art and activism.

From immersive theater to social justice storytelling, Abby is all about creating art that empowers and engages. We talk about the importance of artivism — using your creative voice to uplift communities, challenge systems, and spark meaningful change.

Abby also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at her latest project, "Alex in WindyLand" — a new play in development inspired by real-life experiences with youth in Chicago’s foster care system.

Oh, and did I mention we talk about winning a literal Emmy? Yeah. That happened too.

Get your tickets to see Alex in Windyland at the Filament Theatre May 17-23.

This conversation is heart-filled, electric, and a celebration of what happens when artists dare to care.

🎧 Tune in and get inspired.
