On Everyone Talks To Liz, we believe that if you can dream it, you can do it. Jordan Cooper was unable to afford a ticket to a Broadway show growing up, let alone star in one. While studying theater in New York City, he completed his play "Ain't No Mo," and even wrote a role for himself in the show.

My guest this week is Adam Honoré, a resident of Harlem New York and an insanely talented lighting designer who worked on his first off-Broadway production at 22. Together we discuss his time interviewing for colleges and accidentally finding himself in the warm-up room with actors to designing his all-time favorite production, “Ain't No Mo'” by Jordan E. Cooper at The Public Theater. This episode spans the complexities of humanity and what it is like to be alive right now, from Covid-19 to the Black Lives Matter movement to living in a culture where our identity is tied to our jobs. Adam poignantly reminds us that in order to enjoy yourself you have to stop chasing the next best thing and that there's almost always an opportunity somewhere.
