Today, on our inaugural episode I want to give you an idea as to what you can expect over the coming months. We’re going to start off with a Black Theatre trivia question. Next, we get some a Black thought. This is a quote or saying by an African American that frames the theme of the episode.
Then, we’re going to look at some of the challenges as producers of live performance art in 2020 and dealing with a poorly managed national response to this pandemic.

Finally, we’re going to close out by taking a moment to recognize the passing of my friend, Walter Dallas. Walter died on May 3rd from a long battle with pancreatic cancer. I’m still processing his death.</itunes:summary>
