Deborah Puette Flies To The Moon With Her Arms

Growing up in a family of hunters in a town without much art, award-winning actor, writer and director Deborah Puette didn’t have a name for what she yearned to do. After moving to Chicago and stumbling into a breakout role on stage, she set her sights on a career and life that has propelled her ever-forward. Through an unexpected pregnancy, a move to LA, the breakup of a marriage, and seeing her child through cancer treatment, Deborah continued to tend to her artistry and her professional trajectory with focus, clarity and grace. Deborah’s ability to listen to the quiet, persistent voice inside, to honor herself as a storyteller, and to hone her natural leadership has landed her not just as a beloved member of the LA theatre community, but now as a writer, director and producer of short and feature films. She talks to Katie and Melanie about her path from reluctant new mom to why her 25-year-old daughter is her hero, about breaking up with old beliefs and embracing more dimensions of herself, and why she now is proud to talk about her queer identity.More about Deborah:https://www.deborah-puette.com@lassothemoonxohttps://cashforgoldthefilm.comhttps://suchaprettygirlfilm.comHer resources:https://www.amazon.com/Playwrights-Guidebook-Insightful-Dramatic-Writing/dp/0571199917https://www.badpitchwriterslab.com
