ARTSPEAK RADIO Artfully Speaking

Wednesday May 24, 2017 Host/producer Maria Vasquez Boyd talks with Merrit Benz, Cristina Mũniz, Adam Long, Kevin King,Vicki Vodrey, & Pete Bakely. Kevin King, from Whim Productions and KC playwrights, Vicki Vodrey and Pete Bakely, talk about their upcoming production called "Pastiche." It's one play that was written by 10 playwrights in sections of 7 - 10 pages. "Pastiche" is a one-night only staged reading event on May 26 at 8 pm at the Buffalo Room in Westport." One playwright begins a script. They write ten minutes of a play, then hand it off to another. Like keeping a top spinning, each successive writer will send the script to another writer, then another, then another. The result will be a single play, written with one voice, more or less. This is Pastiche, the latest show by Whim Productions. "Pastiche" is being written by Kansas City playwrights including Emma Carter, Diane Hightower, Alli Jordan, Michelle Tyrene Johnson, Jesse Ray Metcalf, Prisca Jebet Kendagor, James P.
