Espeland is devoted to helping kids learn what their potential is, and the affect they can have on the world.

Fort Wayne Youtheatre has been going strong for eighty-five years, now, and this season is off to a great start, thanks to its new Executive Artistic Director, Todd Espeland.

For a look at Todd's philosophy, and what he's bringing to the youngest members of our local theater scene, WBOI's Julia Meek invited him into the studio to share his insights on the craft, and its place in our community.
