My guest today talks about how powerful Production can be!Marc Collins, co-founder and Executive Producer of Odyssey Creative, began his theatre and film career around age six. Ever since then, he’s been bringing content to stages and screens for live audiences across the country and around the world.

• Why is a script important?
