In this episode, we sit down with Mel Zarb-Cousin, CEO of Magik Theatre, to talk about what it really means to lead a space built on imagination.
Mel shares her journey from being involved in drama and performance to stepping into executive leadership at one of San Antonio’s most beloved cultural institutions. We go behind the curtain on what it takes to run a theatre, how storytelling shapes communities, and why the arts still matter deeply in today’s world.
We also dive into a more personal chapter of her story, including navigating love and long distance, with her fiancé living in Cuba. It’s an honest conversation about passion, purpose, resilience, and building a life that blends art and leadership.
If you care about creativity, community, and the human stories behind the spotlight, this one’s for you.
