SEPTEMBER 2023I had an amazing summer in Leeds, and now that I've moved to Liverpool, I'm loving the fresh scenery. My stay here has been upbeat, filled with great conversations. It's just a 10-minute walk to the vibrant Hope Street, known for its historic architecture, Everyman Theatre, art galleries, and restaurants. Another enjoyable 10-minute walk takes me to the City Centre and my favorite gym, making navigation in this city a breeze, and I'm feeling more at ease overall.

It is time for another visit with Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck, who joins us each week with her reviews of the mid-Atlantic regional stage. “The World Goes 'Round” is a musical revue, a collection of songs. It isn't a new show, but this production has made some changes. The ArtsCentric production of The World Goes ‘Round is at the Everyman Theater in Baltimore until July 2.

Today, it's Midday on the Arts. A little later in the hour, Tom will speak with the internationally acclaimed classical pianist, Angela Hewitt, who is appearing in Columbia tomorrow night. And our theater critic, J Wynn Rousuck, will review the new show at the Everyman Theater. But we begin with the spoken word artist Wordsmith. He has released eight albums, and contributed music to several network and streaming shows, including Russian Doll and The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.  He has performed all over the world in partnership with the US State Department, and in 2020, he was named an artistic partner with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Last year, he premiered a new version of Igor Stravinsky's A Soldier's Tale and a new interpretation of the finale of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. In addition to writing and performing, Wordsmith is also an educator, activist and advocate. He recently started a non-profit organization called Rise with a Purpose. The group plans to launch a music school in Baltimore, and Wordsmith joins us now on Zoom to tell us about it… The event to help fund the new Rise With a Purpose music school will take place tomorrow night at 6:00 at Baltimore Unity Hall.

But first, Tom welcomes to the show an extraordinary, Grammy Award-nominated musical artist, Nathalie Joachim.

Next on today's Midday on the Arts: Baltimore's Everyman Theater is presenting The Skin of Our Teeth, a Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Thornton Wilder that premiered on Broadway on November 18, 1942, at a time when the world was convulsed by global war. The new production at Everyman opens tonight, Dec 10, a few days after the 80th anniversary of Japan's 1941attack on Pearl Harbor. That event led the US to go to war and was a major inspiration for Thornton Wilder to write the The Skin of Our Teeth. The comic play, a groundbreaking and still-resonant satirical work that addresses the anxieties sparked by a world in chaos, continues at the Everyman through January 2nd. For ticket info, click here. Joining Tom now to talk about the challenges and rewards of working on Everyman's new production of The Skin of Our Teeth are Noah Himmelstein, Everyman's Assistant Artistic Director and the director of the play, and Felicia Curry, an ET resident company actor who plays the lead role of Sabina.

It's Midday on the Arts.  A little later in this hour, Tom checks in with our theater critic, J Wynn Rousuck, for her reviews of two shows at Baltimore Center Stage. Tom will also talk to some folks from Baltimore's Everyman Theater about their new production of Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth. But we begin with two classically trained string players who have reimagined the repertoire and the audience for their instruments. In 2004, two high school buddies from Broward County, Florida, formed the duo Black Violin. Here's Wil B on viola and Kev Marcus on violin with a little taste of Black Violin from their 2020 release, a holiday album called Give Thanks. This is their take on the classic, Joy to the World. Black Violin is in the middle of a national tour that has them playing the Joseph Meyerhoff Symphony Hall here in Baltimore tonight (Dec.10), for one show only. They'll be joined on stage by DJ SPS and drummer Nat Stokes. Their show starts at 8:00. For ticketing information, click here. Wil Baptiste and Kev Marcus join us on Zoom from south Florida. Their conversation with Tom was recorded earlier this week, so we can't take any calls. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To round out the program today, Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom with her review of playwright Dominique Morisseau's Pipeline. It's a powerful new drama about a mother whose dreams for her son's education clash with the systemic racism in the schools that she believes are rigged to ensure her son fails. The virtual production, starring Dylan Fleming, Eleasha Gamble, Bekah Zornosa, Kimberly Shraf, and Resident Company Actors Jefferson Russell and Yaegel Welch, is directed by Everyman's Paige Hernandez. Pipeline is streaming for ticketed patrons now through July 11th. Judy also spotlights another Everyman production: a recorded, streamed reading of The Lifespan of a Fact, a play by Jeremy Kareken & David Murrell and Gordon Farrell, based on the book by John D'Agata and Jim Fingal.

Today, we'll hear first about one of the ways Baltimore’s Everyman Theater has adapted to the new normal: they’ve attached themselves to a city-sponsored film festival. The Baltimore City Office of Equity and Civil Rights is hosting the Fair Housing Film Festival from August 24 to 28, and Everyman’s entry is a live theater event, The House That Holds Us, a virtual evening of theatrical readings, scenes, and monologues that examines the housing experience in Baltimore. Joining Tom via Zoom to talk about the new work is Vincent Lancisi. He is the founder and Artistic Director of the Everyman Theatre. Then, we take a broader view of the coronavirus-affected theater scene, in which companies are restricted to presenting their work on-line. But that restriction hasn’t prevented the arts community from producing a wide range of innovative theater. Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom via Skype to suggest some new virtual theater offerings you might want to check ou

Theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom each Thursday with her reviews of the region's theatrical offerings. Today, she talks about Everything Is Wonderful, a powerful drama set in Amish country about a man, and a family, in crisis. The play by Chelsea Mercantel, which world-premiered at the Contemporary Theater Festival in West Virgina in 2017, is getting a new production at Baltimore's Everyman Theatre.The drama, directed by Noah Himmelstein, stars Everyman Theatre Resident Company actors Deborah Hazlett (Esther) and Bruce Randolph Nelson (Jacob), and features Tony Nam (Eric), Alex Spieth (Miri), Hannah Kelly (Ruth), and Steve Polites (Abram).Everything Is Wonderful continues at Everyman Theater through Sunday, February 24.

The play “Everything is Wonderful” at Everyman Theater makes us think anew about what it means to forgive, and what it takes to do it. Director Noah Himmelstein contrasts the mercy an Amish family shows a man whose driving took their son’s lives … with their sternness toward their free-spirited daughter. And we meet Mark and Sandy Laken, inspired by the play to search for the driver who might have caused their own son’s fatal crash three decades ago. They learned of the play’s message only after Sandy had offered to sponsor it financially:.

We turn now to a play that's based on a book by a former journalist whom many Baltimoreans of a certain age will recognize. After Richard Hollander’s parents were killed in a car accident in the mid-1980s, he discovered a suitcase full of correspondence that gave him great insight to the fate of his Jewish relatives in German-occupied Poland during the Holocaust. That discovery led him to write a book, with co-authors Christopher R. Browning and Nechama Tec, which he published in 2007, called “Every Day Lasts a Year: A Jewish Family’s Correspondence from Poland.” That book, in turn, inspired a play that is currently on stage at the Everyman Theater. It’s called The Book of Joseph. It was adapted by Seattle-based playwright Karen Hartman, whose other recent works include Roz and Ray and Project Dawn. She joins us on the phone from Seattle.Author Rich Hollander was a reporter for the long-defunct Baltimore News American newspaper and later for WBAL Television. He now runs Millbrook Communications, a sports marketing firm in Baltimore. He joins Tom in Studio A.
