What kind of art would you create if money was no object? What stories would you tell? 

It’s a powerful question, but in American theatre, too few artists ever get to explore it.  

In Part 2 of my conversation with actor/playwright Keith Hamilton Cobb, we unpack what it really takes to make meaningful work in an industry that often prioritizes profit over process. We discuss:

• Art Without Limits – What theatre could look like if artists had unlimited time, resources, and creative freedom
• Curiosity as a Radical Act – How deep inquiry and artistic risk-taking are becoming rarer in today’s cultural landscape
• Race, Representation, and Shakespeare – Insights from American Moor and Project Untitled on using Shakespeare's work to explore the complexities of the human condition
• Making Meaningful Work in a Profit-Driven Culture – How artists can push boundaries despite industry constraints
