In a TV landscape dominated by reality shows and comedies with questionable morals, Fishers [Indiana] resident Abbie Stancato wants to cut through the noise and deliver a wholesome message with a healthy dose of laughter.That's why the 43-year-old Fishers resident wrote a screenplay for his Christian-themed sitcom "Piece of Soul."
