Episode 4: Meet The Woman Behind Livingston Parish's Most Inclusive Theatre Program (ft. Alyson Coyle)
What if every child got a starring role in their own story?
In this episode of Parish Porch, we sit down with Alyson Coyle, founder of Big Dreams Drama Program in Livingston Parish, and what unfolds is nothing short of magic. Alyson shares how she’s redefining youth theater with a no-audition, collaboration-first model that lets every kid shine. No rejection. No gatekeeping. Just raw creativity, radical kindness, and space for every voice.
From 5-year-olds to high schoolers, her program is a masterclass in building confidence, emotional resilience, and collaborative skills that stretch far beyond the stage. Alyson opens up about how she facilitates creative compromise, handles bold personalities, and ensures every child feels seen. Whether you're a parent, educator, or community leader, this episode will make you believe in the power of youth and the promise of what’s possible when we say “yes” to big dreams.
This might be our most heart-expanding conversation yet.
KEEP UP WITH ALYSON!
