HILMAA WORLD PREMIERE PRODUCED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEW GEORGESWORDS BY KATE SCELSAMUSIC BY ROBERT M. JOHANSONDIRECTED BY MORGAN GREENJune 4–23, 2024The early 20th century queer mystic and artist Hilma af Klint channeled hundreds of paintings through messages from otherworldly forces, hoping to communicate the mysteries of the universe. Only recently rediscovered and hailed as one of the first-ever abstract artists, she worked in obscurity during a time that was not yet ready to receive her message. This contemporary opera – with a score that mixes genres including opera, rock, pop, and musical theater– wrestles with the hubris and humility that fueled one woman's spiritual quest.Kate Scelsa – BOOKS: “Fans of the Impossible Life” (HarperCollins, 2015 Indie Next and Junior Library Guild pick), “Improbable Magic for Cynical Witches”(HarperCollins), “Luminary” (Simon&Schuster), “The Mortal Year” (forthcoming from Abrons).

In this episode of iCantCU, I discuss more issues with apps and their lack of accessibility. This time, it's Uber and ASX. Both were better than Starbucks but required workarounds or the dreaded sighted help.  I also recount a fantastic afternoon with our friends at the Greater Philly Chapter. Their President, Denice Brown, invited members of the Keystone Chapter to their annual New Year's lunch. Did I get Mac and cheese? You'll have to listen for the answer. In Just Listen, I play Ziggy, The Golden Song, which I created with the help of ChatGPT for the lyrics and Suno.ai for the music. There are two song versions, and you'll get a sample of both.

Chock full of humorous moments, Itamar shares his experience adapting the cherished animated film An American Tale for the stage, children's ability to suspend disbelief, and avoiding dumbing down the material for a younger audience.

Hamlet has been adapted, retold, and reinvented countless ways. But you've never seen a version of Hamlet quite like James Ijames's Fat Ham, which won the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and is now playing on Broadway. In Fat Ham, Ijames takes the outline of Hamlet and transposes it to the present day American South. Instead of “funeral baked meats,” Fat Ham serves up barbecue—expertly cooked by Rev, the Claudius character. The queer, Black Hamlet character is named Juicy. He isn't on break from Wittenberg; he's taking an online degree in human resources. After being visited by his father's ghost, Juicy believes that his uncle murdered his father in order to marry his mother. And, just like Hamlet, Juicy has to decide what to do about it. But the way Ijames transforms Shakespeare's premise makes Fat Ham into much more than a parody or an adaptation. James Ijames is interviewed by Barbara Bogaev. James Ijames is the co-artistic director of the Wilma Theater in Philadelphia and the author of the acclaimed plays Kill Move Paradise, TJ Loves Sally 4Ever, and The Most Spectacularly Lamentable Trial of Miz Martha Washington.

Profe Herrera (aka StinkyLulu) reflects on eight plays in four pairings that together ask what makes a political play, what makes a Pulitzer-worthy play, what makes something performance art and not a play (and vice versa), and what happens when a big new celebrity shows up in your big old play…. Productions discussed in this episode include: the live-streamed Broadway production of Stephen Daly Guirgis' BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY and Atlanta's Alliance Theatre's production of Katori Hall's HOT WING KING; the long-running Broadway revival of Kander & Ebb's CHICAGO, currently starring drag artist Jinkx Monsoon, and BAM's buzzy revisitation of Lorraine Hansberry's THE SIGN IN SIDNEY BRUSTEIN's WINDOW, with Oscar Isaac starring as Sidney; TwoRiver Theatre's production of Mando Alvarado's LIVING AND BREATHING and Princeton Theater Program's staging of student Reed Leventis's immersive and interactive work DISORDER; and Amalia Oliva Rojas's How to Melt ICE or How the Coyote Fell in Love with the Butterfly who Tried to Be a Lizard — as presented by Boundless Theatre Company in partnership with New Perspectives Theatre at the JuliaDeBurgos Cultural Center in East Harlem — and Guillermo Calderón's Kiss by the Wilma Theater in Center City Philadelphia. https://linktr.ee/stinkylulu

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Giordano leads off by updating a topic we discussed yesterday, telling of a rash of vandalism directed toward pro-life pregnancy centers, teasing an upcoming guest who wrote a piece on it for RealClearPolitics. Then, Dom, Dan and Jim have some fun discussing the upcoming Dom Giordano Day, with Jim breaking out some of his best impressions for a tease for the big day. Then, Giordano transitions into a conversation centered on the economy, playing back clips from Biden administrations officials hoping to reframe the blame away from the President.
