Although Abigail Hopkins is an accomplished singer-songwriter, she is also well known when it comes to the field of directing theatrical drama. The gifted Hopkins would perform beautiful jazz songs in small clubs filled with smoke but her father would never be there to see her perform. At one point he tried to get her to move to Los Angeles, California so they could live close to one another. Her father has a supposed diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome which is a developmental disorder which made him a solitary child. Fans of Abigail want her to do well and believe her father is the cause of much of her mental anguish, but others say she should make up with her father. Despite having the obvious wedge between them, Abigail has done well and is well-respected in her fields just like her father, although it is unclear exactly how much of that success is due to his help if any.
