S1E12. Lynne Streeter Childress
In this episode, multi-talented theatre artist Lynne Streeter Childress shares her journey through 30 years of working in professional theatre, focusing on her extensive work in theatre for young audiences (TYA).
Lynne Streeter Childress is a playwright, actor, teaching artist, singer, director, and the founder and artistic director of Building Better People Productions, an organization based in Annapolis, MD, that uses theatre-based shows, workshops and classes based in themes of empathy, kindness, respect and the things that make us all better people.
This is her 30th year in professional theatre, with much of that experience in theatre for young audiences.
This includes performing at the Kennedy Center, Arena Stage and Adventure Theatre, and teaching for institutions like the Folger Shakespeare Library, Everyman Theatre, and Baltimore School for the Arts.
Through all those experiences, Lynne has seen firsthand how theatre can communicate the most important things in the clearest and most interesting of ways, especially to young people.
Lynne is on the Arts In Education roster for the Maryland States Arts Council and the Arts Council of Anne Arundel County, and through Building Better People Productions, has worked with students served by the Arlington (VA) Humanities Project, Arts Every Day, and the Howard County Arts Council.
Lynne, along with fellow teaching artists Khaleshia Thorpe-Price and Jennifer Ridgway, facilitates Empathy Works, a program that helps organizations discover how empathetic thinking can change their company for the better.
