  • The Broadway Musical "Harmony" - A Live Interview at JCC Manhattan

    The Broadway Musical "Harmony" - A Live Interview at JCC Manhattan
    Oct 30 2023

    This episode was recorded live at the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan on October 9, 2023. It is a conversation with creative and cast members of the Broadway musical, Harmony. They include book writer and lyricist Bruce Sussman, and performers Chip Zien, Julie Benko, Sierra Boggess, and Danny Kornfeld. The narrative of Harmony is set in the 1920s and 30s in Germany, a deeply unsettling time in history, and still the central characters found harmony, not only in the melodic sense but also as a diverse group coming together in partnership. It's an inspiring idea for us all to seek ways to live harmoniously with others. After all, harmony occurs when different sounds blend together.


    I hope you enjoy the following interview, and please check out the links below to two songs from the cast recording of Harmony. Both were performed live at the event.

  • A Conversation Between Co-Directors of Exploring Black Narratives

    A Conversation Between Co-Directors of Exploring Black Narratives
    Sep 12 2023
    Three years ago, I founded a curricular theater program called Exploring Black Narratives, situated in Jewish schools and grounded in the work of acclaimed Black playwrights. One of the most exciting facets of the program has been helping students develop their interview skills in preparation to meet a professional actor who has performed in the play that we've studied. One such actor whom I was lucky to meet is Ron Emile, who starred in a production of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom by August Wilson and who participated dynamically in EBN guest artist sessions. When Ron expressed an interest in the programmatic side of EBN, I was thrilled, and in the year ahead, we are forging a path as co-directors. In this conversation with Ron, we explore some of the topics we consider when we do the work of Exploring Black Narratives. @hollywoodrondon
