#38. Uncle Greg Chats With A Neighbor [Alek - A Beautiful Night In Our Neighborhood]
In this episode, we meet Alek Sayers, producer and host of A Beautiful Night in Our Neighborhood, a Chicago-centered monthly variety panel show where you can catch the local news and talent, play games, and share in a beautiful experience with your neighbors!
Uncle Greg and Alek share their early upbringings, present yearnings, and Mister Rogers inspired their productions. They explore the practice of empathy--more than a feeling, it's an act, it's a muscle, and it's a skill--and they discuss how theater and the arts allow us the space and the tools to do this practice. It's a place to push yourself and be brave in a community trying the same.
Enjoy this episode full of synchronicities, a nod to Rog' and a shared mission to spread kindness and create connection. Then check out A Beautiful Night in Our Neighborhood!
