Episode 21, ACT 2: Oliver Butler - What it Means About

In Episode 21, Act 2: “What It Means About", Courtney continues to channel her passion for politics and art, engaging Oliver Butler, director of Broadway's acclaimed, production of Heidi Schreck's What the Constitution Means to Me, in a conversation about the intersection of the performing arts and activism. It's clear: political complacency leads to political apathy, civic engagement is required to keep progress at the forefront of our democracy, art is activism. In this very politics-forward conversation, Courtney and Oliver discuss the importance of art as a mirror for our society, the overt and visible oppression built into our very patriarchal society and so much more. This poignant conversation digs into the roots of where our divided country stands and how our founding document is, at times, a hindrance to advancing our rights as ever-evolving human beings. Can we fully realize our humanity?
