Chris Stack plays the role of Simon in the current Broadway sensation Stereophonic, winner of a Tony award for best play, and the most Tony-nominated show of all time. Stereophonic follows a 70’s rock band in the process of recording their groundbreaking album, featuring original music by Will Butler of Arcade Fire. Chris and Melinda also happen to be high school classmates, so in this episode we catch up on Chris’ journey from his formative years in music and theater at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis all the way to Broadway. We also focus on his experiences with The Actor’s Studio in New York, the importance of perseverance in a creative career, and the spiritual side of his creative process.
For our Creativity Pro-Tip, we encourage you to ask, and keep asking the deeper questions, even if there are no immediate answers, as questions open up possibilities for creativity and a greater sense of one’s life and work.
