Seth welcomes David Fink, former owner of the Acorn Theatre in Three Oaks, MI. They talk about creating a vibrant theatre in an old factory in a small rural town, being a gay man who lived through the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, having a partner who is battling substance abuse, and the many things (there are a lot) that David is doing currently. Things like facilitating the Story Archive, "a digital quilt of community memories and experiences" for the AIDS Garden in downtown Chicago, being the talent scout and producer for OUTspoken, a LGBTQ+ storytelling series, playing an instrumental role is Season Of Concern, an emergency fund for the Chicago theatre community, and touring the world with Surabhi Ensemble, whose mission is to demonstrate the connections between cultures and to teach a positive message of togetherness in creating, performing, and demonstrating new works of music and dance.

And David wasn't sure he was "cool" enough to be on the show.
