Episode 26-0605: JQA runs June 12-28 at Keizer Homegrown Theatre

(00:00) Intro and the KMUZ Theatre Talk Calendar covering shows and auditions coming up at your favorite mid-Willamette Valley theatres. (11:21) Aaron Posner’s JQA is a provocative, haunting and often hilarious power play that challenges the way Americans think of our country, our government and ourselves. Complicated, passionate and difficult, John Quincy Adams was a brilliant diplomat, a congressman known for his eloquence, arrogance and integrity and an ineffectual one-term president. Posner’s unique and highly theatrical darkcomedy imagines key confrontations between Adams and some of America’s most dynamic figures. Host Ed Schoaps learns more about JQA from Keizer Homegrown Theatre director Jay Gipson-King and actors Rick Sanders and Jessica Peterson.    (33:32) Wrap-up. KMUZ Theatre Talk airs at 9 a.m. the first and third Fridays of the month on ⁠KMUZ 100.7 and 88.5 FM ⁠in the mid-Willamette Valley, on the KMUZ mobile app and anytime wherever you listen to podcasts.  #MidValleyTheatreNetwork #MVTN #MVTNRepresentatives #theatre #livetheatre #stageplay #comedy #onstage #KMUZmedia #KMUZtheatretalk #PressPlaySalem #JQA #JohnQuincyAdams #KeizerHomegrownTheatre
