Local theatre reawakens & a new illustrated children's book

After their annual winter hiatus, local theatres are turning out their ghost light and turning the footlights back on, so on this week's show, host Diana Moxon dives back into the world of theatre. Quin Gresham, from Arrow Rock's Lyceum Theater previews what's coming up in their 2022 season and exactly how unique Arrow Rock's theatre is in the American theatre landscape; from Stephens College, Director Brett Olson talks about the college's production of the Eugene Ionesco anti-play, 'The Bald Soprano' and the challenge of giving a play of non sequiturs a sense of truth; Director Cara Carter explores the character motives and comedy of Talking Horse's production of 'The Smell of the Kill' by Michele Lowe; and artist and debut-author, Jeru Battle, talks about his upcoming children's book 'The Indigenous Goat'.
