Megan Johns has been creatively collaborating in some capacity for what seems to be her entire life. After thriving in programs like Odyssey of the Mind as a young person fueled by her parents' creative encouragement, Meg has been a part of bringing people together to create shows in Chicago (mainly at the Annoyance Theatre and as a part of The New Colony theatre company) for over a decade. We chat about how personality types, fear and anxiety, and finding a balance between healthy compromise and pushing one's own ideas all play into these projects. Meg strives to actively, joyfully, and adventurously make theatre happen, and she's an inspiration to me (and has been since right after my move to Chicago, as you'll find out herein).

Thanks to Basecamp for sponsoring (incredibly pertinent... Basecamp is excellent for project management) and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for creating support and a community where there wasn't one.
