Episode 24-0405: THE PROM at Albany Civic Theater and DANCING AT LUGHNASA at Willamette University Theatre

(00:00) Intro and the KMUZ Theatre Talk Calendar. (09:51) The hit musical THE PROM runs at Albany Civic Theater April 5-27. On a mission to transform lives, Broadway’s brassiest actors join forces with a student who wants to bring her girlfriend as her high school prom date — against the wishes of parents who want to keep the dance on the straight and narrow. The result is love that brings everyone together. Ed interviews assistant director Dan Bushong and actors Abigail Hobson and Liz Winters. (24:02) Willamette University Theatre presents DANCING AT LUGHNASA April 11-27 on the Pelton Theater mainstage. Ann and Ed talk with director Susan Coromel about Brian Friel’s masterwork tracing one man’s childhood memories of his 1936 summer in Ballybeg, Ireland, in this tribute to the spirit and valor of the past.
