Welcome to Foolish Voices! On this show we talk to a wide range of theatre artists, both here in Sun Valley and all across the world, about how the current global health crisis is impacting their work, about their creative lives, and about their hopes for the future of our art form.
Please consider supporting Company of Fools by making a donation, in any amount, via our podcast platform or online at svmoa.org.
In this episode, we are talking with a recent addition to the Fools family, Ariel Puhs!
Ariel was named after the Shakespeare character and not the Disney mermaid. She is an actress and artist based in the Pacific Northwest, earning her BA in theatre at the University of Portland and her MFA in acting from Columbia University in New York City. This last fall was her first time coming to Hailey Idaho and working for Company of Fools, performing as struggling new mom Jessie in Molly Smith Metzler's play "Cry It Out" directed by Denise Simone. Back home in Portland, Ariel works with Marquam Auction Agency to help local non-profits raise money for their community programs. She is also a very proud and active Core Company Member and actor for the Portland based Original Practice Shakespeare Festival which provides free Shakespeare in the park and schools. Currently, she is sheltering in place with her parents, brother, two dogs, and a cat named Bother.
Ariel would love for you to consider supporting Original Practice Shakespeare Festival online at www.opsfest.org, and make a donation at https://www.opsfest.org/donate.html
