The Compass, a podcast dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights, welcomes actor Liz Vital for Episode 91.

Created by actor Leah Walsh, The Compass 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 this week’s episode, Vital, an actor and soon-to-be drama therapist, shares her personal thoughts on dealing with the dark side, leaving Los Angeles for Seattle, the healing power of storytelling, and her decision to go to graduate school for Drama Therapy.
