The Compass, a podcast dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights, welcomes actor Stacey Yen, who currently appears in The Mad Ones’ Miles for Mary at Playwrights Horizons.

Created by actor Leah Walsh, the podcast documents the lives of artists navigating the waters between art and commerce. Each week, Playbill highlights Walsh’s latest episode with industry professionals who share their own stories about making art, making a living, and maintaining inspiration.

In the episode, Yen speaks about life in the professional world after graduate school, political engagement, and the process of building Miles for Mary with The Mad Ones.
