This podcast features the ever mercurial Sam Johnson, one of the youngest members of the Acting Out company. Sam talks tough about his checkered past as well as the watershed that occurred for him behind prison walls when he grabbled hold of two opportunities – one to attend college, and the other to star in Fathers and Sons for the Otisville CF Theatre Workshop. Sam performs two monologues during the podcast. This first is an edgy comedic piece from this summer's online production of Talk to Me about a kid unlike himself having trouble acclimating to a new white neighborhood. The podcast closes with an excerpt from the recent Acting Out production of Inside Out where Sam breaks convention, drops to the ground, and performs the monologue while doing pushups on the sidewalk.
