The Compass, a podcast dedicated to the stories of working actors, writers, directors, designers, dancers, musicians, composers, and playwrights, welcomes actor and founder of The Artist Co-op Rachel Berger.

Created by actor Leah Walsh, the podcast documents the lives of artists navigating the waters between art and commerce. Each week, Playbill highlights Walsh’s latest episode with industry professionals who share their own stories about making art, making a living, and maintaining inspiration.

In this week’s episode, Berger shares her experiences with the dark side, how she decided to pursue her new endeavor in creating The Artist Co-op, a co-working space that brings together artists, fundraising, mentors, and more. Visit theartistco-op.com. The Compass Podcast Facebook page will also offer a video tour of the space in the coming days.
