Episode #370

Chism Cornelison talks with Valerie Lopez about

• Going against the type of a small Texas town and ditching the football field for the theater stage
• The best birthday gift of his life - improv classes which helped him channel his talent for being funny and introduced him to his now wife, Jamie Meeks.
• Trading being a little fish in a big pond for becoming a gutsy fish in a smaller pond (moving from Los Angeles to Austin).

Recorded November 2025 at Fallout Theater Podcast Studio
