The play opens at the funeral of Marge's husband of many years. His cheating leaves her bitter and as the preacher expounds on the dead man's virtues, Marge explodes with laughter and loud, inappropriate commentary. Her grown daughter and son are mortified at her outbursts. Turns out no one in the extended family liked him either, and their views come out in the gathering afterward in the family home. Neighbor Rose arrives with recipes and a lot more for Marge, and the double entendres fly. Lots of fun with family dynamics and the revenge of a woman scorned.   You can find out more at The Studio at 620.    We would like to thank our Atlanta Fringe Audio sponsor Could Be Pretty Cool, a production company whose mission is to inspire community building through the arts.    Binge on all of our audio shows at atlantafringe.org/fringe-audio or wherever you enjoy podcasts.

Ever wondered why society holds such rigid definitions of masculinity and the devastating impact it can have? Join us as we sit down with Cordelia Zars of the Empathy Theatre Project to investigate this question, and more. In this enlightening discussion, Cordelia takes us behind the scenes of their groundbreaking musical, Man Up, a poignant exploration of gender violence and the societal pressures of conforming to traditional masculinity.We delve deeply into the journey of Duncan, the protagonist of Man Up, from a vibrant, emotional boy to a figure of conventional masculinity, estranged from his family, friends and his true self. The ripple effect of Duncan's transformation on the audience and cast members is heart-wrenching but also serves as a beacon of hope, illustrating the healing power of such narratives. We further discuss the upcoming production, We're Still Here, a testament to resilience and unity during trying times.The Empathy Theatre Project isn't just about raising awareness; it's also about fostering collaboration. In our conversation, we highlight their unique musical theater project bringing together indigenous and non-indigenous people. We talk about the conscious efforts to preserve indigenous oral tradition through this project and the profound effects it has on the Indigenous actors. Cordelia also lets us in on how you, our  listeners, can support and experience these transformative productions. Embark on this journey with us as we illuminate the transformative power of art, storytelling, and empathy, in an episode that promises to be as enlightening as it is compelling.Learn More: https://empathytheatreproject.org/ Support the showAdditional Resources: Subscribe/Rate/Review on iTunes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐: >>>HEREEnroll Here

Today's conversation with LaTasha Do'zia, Artistic Director at Selah Theatre Project was a "take two." We talked in March of 2022 about their upcoming production of Terms of Endearment that was slated to open later that month. Technical difficulties postponed the opening til May 20, 2022. I was able to salvage the audio from cast members Paige Ulevich (Aurura) and Beau Bostock (Emma) which you can hear in the second segment. They talk about their personal relationship, their relationship to the characters they portray, and what it's like to be part of a community theatre group such as Selah. LaTasha gave us the updated details for the show's production and opening. Performances will be held at the William H. McCoy Theatre at Lord Fairfax (becoming Laurel Ridge) Community College located at 173 Skirmisher Land in Middletown, VA. The show will open on May 20 with a 7pm curtain call followed by a second performance on May 21 at the same time. Sunday shows will be a matinee beginning at 3pm. The cast will take the stage on May 27-29, 2022 as well. Tickets are limited due to COVID protocols so getting them in advance is advised. You can do that here: https://www.selahtheatreproject.org/terms LaTasha also gave us information about their upcoming summer camps and talked about what goes into her decision-making process when choosing which plays should take the stage.

Our conversation with LaTasha Dozier, Artistic Director for Selah Theatre Project was technically a "take two" recording. We had recorded the show a few weeks ago at one of their rehearsals for Terms of Endearment that was set to open on March 18, 2022. However, technical difficulties have now pushed that opening to mid-May. So, we met back up on the Zoom screen to learn what happens to tickets sold for that production and talk a bit about the history of Selah Theatre Project. LaTasha gave us a bit of history for how the all-volunteer non-profit got started and explained her mission/vision for the performing arts organization when she founded it. Selah Theatre Project provides the opportunity to create theatre together in an educational, supportive, and professional environment for all walks of life. They produce 8 seasonal productions involving their four companies: Selah Teen Ensemble, Selah Young Actors Ensemble, Colored People Repertory Ensemble and Community Theatre Ensemble. Selah offers pre-professional theatrical training for teens and theatre classes for kids of all ages and provides affordable artistic opportunities to students regardless of ability to pay. LaTasha filled us in on all the different types of performances, summer camps, and classes they offer. She also explained the varous partnerships with other non-profits in the area and how they've become an important piece of the performances. We talked about upcoming productions and the importance of giving youth (and adults) in our community this creative outlet. For more information about Selah Theatre Project, visit their website: https://www.selahtheatreproject.org/  and follow them on Facebook. There you will find information about tickets, show sponsorships and sign up for their newsletter. At the end of the show we talked briefly about the possibility of producing a radio show during the holidays.

Drawing in the Dark at Baltimore Theatre Project. On artist Micheal Iampieri, with John C. Wilson, Anne Cantler-Fulwiler, and Philip Arnoult. Artist Michael Iampieri drew during live performances of theatre, dance, and music for more than 30 years. John C. Wilson's book, “Drawing in the Dark: The Art of Michael Iampieri” celebrates the legacy of Baltimore Theatre Project's visual historian, and showcases nearly 300 of Michael's drawings. Paired with essays by former Theatre Project Directors, “Drawing in the Dark” reveals the intimate relationship between performance and audience. With quick, mindful strokes of his pencil, Micheal captured the precision of movement, depth of emotion, and verve of dramatic performance. We present an audio recording of a panel discussion that was held at The Ivy Bookshop in Baltimore on Tuesday, August 10th, 2021. The speakers are author John C. Wilson, Theatre Project Board Member and Former Producing Director Anne Cantler-Fulwiler, and Theatre Project Founder Philip Arnoult. The moderator is Juanita Rockwell, writer and director, and founding director of Towson Univerity's MFA in Theatre program. The event was held at the Ivy Bookshop's spacious outdoor covered patio. A fierce thunder and rain storm moved in, but didn't dissuade the large audience for attending the book-signing and panel discussion. The Baltimore Theatre Project is celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2021-2022. Founded in 1971 by Philip Arnoult, the theatre has been presenting theatre, music, dance, and performance art from around the world since its doors opened.

Our guests are author-artist John C. Wilson and Baltimore Theatre Project Founder Philip Arnoult, talking about the art of Michael Iampieri. The interviews were conducted by telephone in the Spring of 2021. Baltimore Theatre Project was founded by Arnoult in 1971. Born during a tumultuous time of social change in America, Theatre Project grew to be the entry-way in America for thrilling experimental theatre from around the world. Under Arnoult's guidance, theatre-goers were introduced to some of the planet's most exciting voices in theatre, music and dance. Artist and teacher Micheal Iampieri began attending performances at Baltimore Theatre Project from the beginning, and with his sketchbook and a few pencils and pens, drew lightning sketches in the dark almost every opening night for three decades. John C. Wilson, joining Theatre Project in the mid-1970s, became friends with Michael, and in 2020, when Michael was confronted retirement due to declining health, was determined to created a book to pay tribute to and collect Michael's wonderful illustrations, and create a singular history of Baltimore Theatre Project. The result is the book “Drawing in the Dark- The Art of Michael Iampieri”.

More than a decade ago, Kenny Yee would often wander the streets of Chelsea in New York City, drifting in and out of galleries to look at art. This is where he learned about color, form, and texture. Then he’d go back to his basement apartment in Queens to paint. He had a side hustle of sorts then, selling his work to several collectors in New York. Now he lives in Baltimore and works full-time as an admissions counselor, but he still considers himself a serious painter and makes time for this practice. In this episode, Kenny talks about his early days as an art educator and a painter in New York and Baltimore, how his style has evolved, the influence that kids’ art has had on his own work, and whether he’ll eventually have a desire to make his painting practice into something more or whether doing something he loves is fulfilling on its own.

Nowadays, when someone accuses you of being “melodramatic,” it’s got a pejorative connotation, and usually means you’re acting in an overly emotional and hyperbolic way. But melodrama, which emerged during the French Revolution, was a rich and complicated theatrical genre. Now, the team behind the University of Warwick’s Staging Napoleonic Theatre project, which includes Dr. Katherine Astbury, Dr. Diane Tisdall, and Dr. Sarah Burdett, is working to both study and stage melodramas. They’ve already performed Roseliska, a unique piece written by French prisoners-of-war in England, and they’re preparing to stage La forteresse du Danube, one of the many hits written by Renè-Charles Guilbert de Pixerècourt, who claimed to have invented the genre. They joined us to talk about melodrama’s origins and how it worked onstage, as well as to demonstrate how music was an integral part of these spectacular plays.

Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom for another of her weekly reviews of the region's thespian fare. Today, she's talking about Thank You, Dad, the world premiere of Baltimore playwright Aladrian C. Wetzel’s trilogy of short plays based on the life of the Reverend Jim Jones, the notorious founder of the ill-fated religious cult, The Peoples Temple. It's the 2019 season opener for Rapid Lemon Productions, and the work is now on stage at Baltimore's Theatre Project.Featuring a solo performance by RLP Artistic Director Lance Bankerd, with direction by Donna Ibale, the trilogy recalls the tragedy that unfolded in a South American jungle settlement in 1978, when the Reverend Jim Jones ordered the deaths of over 900 members of his Peoples Temple, a quasi-religious community that included hundreds of children. It was the largest mass-murder/suicide in modern history.The plays portray Jones at three points in his life: his first ministries in Indiana in the 1950s, his progressive services in California in the 1960s, and his fatal last sermon at the Peoples Temple's village in Jonestown, Guyana.Rapid Lemon Productions' world premiere staging of Thank You, Dad continues at the Theatre Project until Sunday, January 20.

It's Thursday and that means Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins us to spotlight one of the region's thespian offerings. Today, she talks with Midday senior producer and guest host Rob Sivak about ----The Cradle Will Rock,---- a 1937 ----play in music---- written by the late Marc Blitzstein that's getting a spirited revival by Iron Crow Theatre, at the Theatre Project, now until Sunday, October 8th.Blitzstein’s pro-union, anti-capitalist musical was the first ever shut down by the federal government. It's allegorical but in-your-face indictment of capitalism and socio-political corruption -- too-familiar themes in today's news. Even as it attacks the wealthy class and the political power it unjustly wields, it also pays homage to the oppressed and the poor, and those struggling to survive. Brechtian in its bold scope and style, The Cradle Will Rock is considered by many critics to be one of the most historically significant works in American theater.The Cradle Will Rock revival by Iron Crow Theatre continues at The Theatre Project until Sunday, October 8th.
