Spent an hour this afternoon behind a microphone in the lobby of The Study hotel on Chapel Street, as one of six special guests of the Colin McEnroe show on WNPR. The topic was the International Festival of Arts & Ideas which is consuming downtown through June 29.
The others on the show were: composer Martin Bresnick and director David Chambers, talking about the A&I premiere of their chamber opera My Friend’s Story (drawn from Chekhov’s short story Terror); Akiya Henry, who plays Hermia in the U.S premiere of Handspring Puppet Company/Bristol Old Vic production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Aaron Jafferis, librettist for the new musical Stuck Elevator; and Arts & Ideas executive director Mary Lou Aleskie.
The show aired live at 1p.m. today (June 18), but presumably will grace the archives of The Colin McEnroe Show shortly.
One of my more florid remarks, “This state is not stupid when it comes to puppets,” was tweeted with alacrity by someone else in the lobby—WNPR newsman John Dankosky.
