Meet RESPECT Actor-Educator: Christina Spillman

What is your favorite RESPECT educational play?

My favorite RESPECT play is Stop and Think! It’s one of the shows we do the most, and I can see why. Stop and Think has lots of advice on how to deal with big feelings and how to be kinder to our friends. I love playing Lily because she is so empathetic and joyful. It makes me smile every time I hear kids singing, “It’s perfect, it’s perfect, it’s such a perfect helmet!”

What is the best part of your interactions at RESPECT programs?

What is something that you’ve learned by being part of RESPECT?
Something I’ve learned in my time at RESPECT is that just because something doesn’t go the way you thought, doesn’t mean the result is bad. My job is different every day, and I can’t always know what to expect. I’ve learned to embrace the variety of it. It keeps me on my toes!
