Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
"Ironbound," a play by Martyna Majok, will be presented at the Women's Voices Theater Festival this fall.
More than 50 of the region’s professional theaters have joined together this season to highlight a range of work created by women. The idea was born after seven artistic directors — six of them men — decided a festival could bring attention to the gender disparity in plays produced. We speak with one of the artistic directors, a playwright, and a participating theater director about the festival.
Guests
- Howard Shalwitz Artistic Director, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company
- Maggie Boland Managing Director, Signature Theater
- Liz Maestri Playwright
