Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The nation’s psychological and economic slump have thrown the local theater community into a cycle of surreal highs and profound lows. From the fanciful world of Alice in Wonderland to the very real struggles of families dealing with mental illness, we explore the quirky and demanding offerings on local stages this holiday season.
Guests
- Peter Marks Chief Theater Critic, Washington Post
