BSR_S09E25 - Glitter In The Glass - Theatre Exile - R. Eric Thomas

Today on the podcast:

Playwright, R. Eric Thomas and Director, Ontaria Kim Wilson, drop in to talk about the Regional Premiere of “Glitter In The Glass”.

Chelle, a Black mid-career artist, has written a check that she's not sure her talent can cash. When the city of Baltimore takes down the Confederate monument in the park across the street from her childhood home, she has an idea. She'll apply for a grant to create a piece to replace it.  Caught between the past, the present, and the future, Chelle, portrayed by Jennifer Kidwell, is catapulted into a journey that takes her back before the Middle Passage and out beyond the bounds of this planet.   

 

 “Wildly funny and thought-provoking” (CTX Life Theatre), Glitter in the Glass by multi-award winning playwright, R. Eric Thomas, is about liminal spaces, and a world on the cusp of exploding.
