In this episode, Tim sits down with the founder and president of Home of the Brave Productions, Jarrod Kopp. The former Executive Director of one of the most prominent theatre organizations in Oklahoma, Jarrod decided to take a step away from theatre after decades of dedication. In that time, he felt his heart being pulled in a direction of telling stories from history that help to tell the story of the present, and that's how Home of the Brave Productions was born. Now, he is working to unite multiple theatre companies from across Tulsa's vibrant arts community into one extraordinary venture of bringing awareness to the socio-political landscape of our country through plays that were written in our past, both here in America and from around the world. It is a story of passion, exploration, and desire to open the eyes and hearts of Oklahomans in hopes to make our future brighter.
