What does “home” look like when your life is rooted in both connection and impermanence?

In this episode, we sit down with actor and arts educator Noah Casner, a creative Swiss Army knife based in New York City and a familiar face in Mansfield through his performances at the Renaissance Theatre. Noah talks about what it’s like to arrive as an out-of-town performer, walk into a rehearsal room full of strangers, read the energy of a space, and advocate for art that feels truly accessible to the communities it serves.

From pandemic-era Survivor marathons to navigating long-distance friendships and relationships spread across cities and time zones, Noah reflects on how to build real community in places you may only call home for a season. Along the way, we talk about rest, boundaries, and what it really means to be a “better villager,” showing up for others without pouring from an empty cup.
