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.

In this episode, we are talking with Cassandra Bissell! Cassie is a freelance actor based in Wisconsin. She was first introduced to the wonder that is Company of Fools and the incredible Wood River Valley community through her partner, Neil Brookshire. She has appeared alongside him at Company of Fools in Proof, Constellations, and Mary Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley. She pieces together a living as a freelance actor by appearing anywhere that will hire her which thus far includes stages from Vermont to Utah. Cassandra holds a degree in Gender Studies from the University of Chicago, is very fond of cats, tea, solitaire and writing the occasional haiku. (Yes, she is in fact, an 80-year-old soul in a 42-year-old skin.)
