In this episode, Gentry chats with Mitch Nugent, Founding Executive Producer of Prima Theatre, to explore the deeply human art of living creatively—even when life feels like duct-taping sparks together while a raccoon auditions for your dreams. They talk about the role of curiosity, timing, and disappointment in the creative process, finding community through collaboration, and why your childhood talent show next to a KFC drive-thru might’ve been your first masterpiece. It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and a reminder that creativity isn’t a reward—it’s a rhythm. Starring grief, joy, Broadway lyrics, and possibly a stick-and-grunt musical.
