About this ebook
There are some doozies in THIS ABOVE ALL: HOW TO LIVE AN ARTISTIC LIFE that straight-up revolutionized my thinking. It is a guidebook to both theater and life that needs to live on every creative person's nightstand.

Jason Cannon
Jason Cannon is an award-winning actor, director, improviser, playwright, teacher, and author. He has an MFA in Directing, a Master's in Drama, and a quarter-century in the professional theatre. As an actor, Jason has portrayed everything from a rapping dinosaur to a robot and from a hitman to Hamlet. He has written plays about J. R. R. Tolkien and Aesop, directed plays about hiccuping dragons and foul-mouthed puppets, and once while improvising he was attacked by a stage light. He lives in Florida just a holler from the Gulf with his partner Rebecca and their two silly pups, Gaia and Odin. He makes a killer key lime pie and runs lots of 10Ks and half-marathons. Jason believes storytelling in all its forms-whether seen on the stage or read on a page-has the power not only to entertain but also to comfort, provoke, and inspire us to be better humans. Jason is also available as a workshop leader, story coach, editor, teacher, speaker, emcee, and even wedding officiant.
