Has Theater Failed America?

Listen Thursday, Jan. 8, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Arts & Culture
Guest host: Sam Litzinger

The nation's capital has long had one of the most vibrant regional theater scenes in the country. But are those theaters -- and others like them across the U.S. -- failing to reach the audiences they were created to serve? That's the question that Mike Daisey asks in his one-man show, which arrives today in Washington after an Off-Broadway run. Join Kojo as we talk about what theater owes the public -- and what audiences owe the theater community.
