Mirirai Sithole, who can currently be seen in MCC Theatre’s acclaimed Off-Broadway world premiere of School Girls; or, The African Mean Girls Play, joins host Leah Walsh for Episode 98 of the artists podcast The Compass.
Walsh created the podcast that is dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights who are navigating the waters between art and commerce.
The Compass has just begun a new initiative that explores the ways in which artists are being called to activism, and how they are taking action to affect change in the social and political spheres.
Each week, Playbill highlights Walsh’s latest episode with industry professionals who share their own stories about making art, making a living, maintaining inspiration—and using their art as activism.

The Compass can be downloaded for free on iTunes.
