Richard Powers won the Pulitzer Prize i 2019 for “The Overstory,” and the National Book Award in 2006 for “The Echo Maker.” He is also the author of “The Time Of Our Singing,” “Orfeo,” and “Bewilderment.” He has been a Booker Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist multiple times. “Playground” brings together the history of Silicon Valley and the growth of A.I. with a look at deep ocean diving and the notion of floating cities in a story that circles back on itself, and was possibly written by an artificial intelligence. Complete interview     Bebe Moore Campbell (1950-2025), Best Selling Novelist Bebe Moore Campbell (1950-2006), in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded August 23, 2001 while on tour for her novel, “What You Owe Me.” In her books, she explored racial justice, childhood obesity and the tensions in friendships between Black and white people; she shared the stigma of mental illness and memories of the summers she spent with her father in North Carolina. Bebe Moore Campbell died of brain cancer on November 27, 2006 at the age of 56,  and was on the verge of recognition as a major African American novelist and journalist at the time of her death.

Her second novel, Brothers and Sisters, hit the New York Times best seller list after two weeks. Along the way, she became a regular commentator on NPR's Morning Edition. I interviewed Bebe Moore Campbell on August 23, 2001 while she was on the publicity tour for her fourth novel, What You Owe Me. Most of the interview focuses on that book. Bebe Moore Campbell would only write one more novel before her untimely death 72 Hour Hold. As for October, 2025, none of her works have been adapted for film or television.

TPP Executive Directopr Oliver Mayes talks Noises Off. Direct Hope Dunkle and actor India Johnson talk Jekyll & Hyde. Actor/singer/dancer Simon Floss talks. A lot.

One of my favourite comedies for the stage is Noises Off, a hilarious farce by Michael Frayn that takes the audiences behind the scenes of a disastrous theatre production. The play is being presented at the Theatre on the Bay by young actors from LAMTA, directed by Chris Weare. My Guest on People of Note this week is one of the actors, AIDAN SCOTT, who plays the role of the director in the play. People of Note, Sunday at 6pm and again on Thursday at midday. Brought to you by PTP.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with theater veteran Kate Jennings Grant. Tune in to hear some of the stories of her legendary career, including the secret to her role in PROOF, a full-circle moment with GUYS AND DOLLS, working with the late, great Mark Brokaw and Linda Lavin on THE LYONS, a tip from Vanessa Redgrave, why Christopher Durang wanted her to play the lead in THE MARRIAGE OF BETTE AND BOO, meeting her husband Doug Hughes during BEARD OF AVON, starring in tours of APPLAUSE and FINIAN'S RAINBOW, how Wendy Wasserstein gave her her screen debut, why she loves singing Stephen Sondheim's music, the notes George C. Wolfe gave her during RADIANT BABY, the joys of co-starring with Wendie Malick in BLITHE SPIRIT, why she turned down SPAMALOT, the injury that caused her brief leave from OLD FRIENDS, the intensity of co-starring with Glenn Close in MOTHER OF THE MAID, coming out of the pandemic with MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, researching her role as Diane Sawyer in FROST/NIXON, what she learned from Tammy Grimes during A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, why NOISES OFF was like training for the Olympics, and so much more. Don't miss this open conversation with one of Broadway's best.

Actor Aidan Scott speaks to John Maytham about starring in LAMTA’s annual drama production, Noises Off, which opened on 27 August at Theatre on the Bay. Directed by Chris Weare, the fast-paced backstage farce takes audiences behind the scenes of a disastrously hilarious theatre production, featuring door-slamming chaos, flying sardines, and romantic entanglements unraveling in perfect comedic timing. Scott and fellow professional actor Natalie Robbie lead a talented cast of LAMTA students, showcasing the academy’s emphasis on strong acting training alongside musical theatre skills.

Discussion Dewdney Players presented Squabbles at the Old Church Theatre in Okotoks from May 2 through May 17. Directed by Brad Snowden, Kyle sits down with Brad post production to talk about the successes of the production and the memorable events of the show. About the show: Dewdney Players was proud to present the final play of the 2024-2025 season; ‘Squabbles' by Marshall Karp.  Featuring a cast of seasoned Dewdney veterans, this hilarious play had audiences rolling in the aisles!  Abe Dreyfus, a cantankerous widower, moves in with his daughter, Alice and her husband Jerry, a jingle writer.  The plot twists when Alice and Jerry discover they are expecting their first child. Things get even more complicated when Mildred, Jerry's mother, comes looking for a place to stay.   Abe, the crusty retired New York City cab driver, is not impressed with this development, as he and Mildred had a disastrous meeting at Alice and Jerry's wedding! The relationship between Abe and Mildred gets off to a rocky start, but sparks fly in more ways than one.    Throw in Hector Lopez, the local Puerto Rican handyman, Sol Wasserman, Abe's card-playing, coffee-loving neighbour and Mrs Fisher, the ‘stern' Nanny and everything is in place for possibly the funniest play that Dewdney has ever presented!    The play was actually performed by Dewdney Players at the old Station Art Gallery 25 years ago to appreciative audiences.  Having performed the hilarious, ‘Noises Off' in November, 2024, the production team felt that another comedy was a great way to close off the season and 'Squabbles' was top of mind for a reprise!     Dewdney Players is known for its award-winning performances, being fresh off theatrical success at the Foothills Region One-Act Play Festival in High River at the end of March.  Dewdney plays took first and second place for Outstanding Production (Three Little Words, I've Hit an Iceberg), as well as Outstanding Director (Sherene Seders), Outstanding Technical Merit (Matt Seders) and Outstanding New Work (Louise Moan) and Outstanding Performance (Melanie Swennumson).  The play, ‘Lily's' by Caden Arsenault – which was included in the Okotoks' One Act Play performances - received an Honourable Mention for New Work at the Festival.     The play was directed by Brad Snowden (Arsenic & Old Lace, Lion in Winter, Bullshot Crummond) and produced by Jane Platt (Wizard of Oz, Plaza Suite, Bullshot Crummond) and featured veterans Daniel Rose, Kelly Kozak, Patrick Brown, Hollie Darel, Brad Fowler, Ed Sands and Debbie Sands.     The play opened on May 2, 2025 at the Old Church Theatre and ran weekends to May 17, including matinees on May 10 & 17.

Matt Canon is a long-time member of the Deerfield Family Theatre (DFT) community. He first performed with DFT in 2008 and has since taken on various roles, including acting, stage managing, and now directing. Matt is excited to be directing DFT's upcoming production of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which opens on November 15, 2024. He explains that this version is much closer to the original Roald Dahl book than previous adaptations, with a modern twist and some subtle changes to the story. Matt also recently acted in DFT's production of “Noises Off.” He enjoys switching between acting and directing roles, as he believes it keeps him fresh and helps him understand both perspectives. Matt is thrilled to be working with some familiar faces from DFT's 2009 “Willy Wonka” production, and he is confident the show will be a hit with audiences of all ages.Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Performances at Caruso Auditorium, 1801 Montgomery Rd., Deerfield:* Fridays, November 15 and 22 at 7:00pm* Saturdays, November 16 and 23 at 1:00pm and 7:00pm* Sundays, November 17 and 24 at 1:00pmDeerfield Family TheaterPurchase Tickets This is a public episode.

Regardless of whether anyone considers NOISES OFF a good or bad Peter Bogdanovich movie, it's ludicrous that it's not spoken about more often - and don't even get us started on the meager Rotten Tomatoes coverage. But then again, a movie adaptation about a play that is in itself about the staging of a play could be a little too meta for some audiences/critics. Still… Don't we all love Michael Caine?

Welcome to The 90s, P-Bog style! After a tumultuous intermittent run during the previous decade, Peter Bogdanovich assembled another all-star cast and tried to make audiences laugh again with a film adaptation of the successful play NOISES OFF.

The release and reception of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE was akin to diving off a cliff after impressively free-soloing said cliff. The movie has its passionate defenders, so could it be that its failure was simply a reflection of a studio's botched handling of an unusual comedy? Or did PJ Hogan whiff after giving the world two home runs back to back?
