Amazing Arizonans: Bobb Cooper on working with future stars at Valley Youth Theater

I love meeting people with amazing stories. It is why Amazing Arizonans is such a fun podcast to do.

In this episode, I talk with Bobb Cooper. Bobb spent 27 years as the executive director of the Valley Youth Theater.

There have been many well know stars of stage and screen that had their careers launched at the Valley Youth Theater, including Emma Stone.

Bobb talks about his love for the theater and his love for investing in the lives of young people.

We had never met before. But by the end of the podcast, I felt like I was talking with an old friend. I hope you love this conversation.
