Ron Himes Directs ”Traveling Shoes” at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre! S3E34 (EPISODE 100)

It's our 100th Episode!  And we are celebrating by talking with Ron Himes, founder and Producing Director of the St. Louis Black Repertory Company, who graces us with a devised piece, Traveling Shoes, at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre.  There are only two performances of this important piece of work which includes poems, prose, dance, and songs to convey the need to have difficult conversations and realizations about contemporary social issues. Ron also talks with us about his current productions at the St. Louis Black Repertory Company in St. Louis, Missouri, in which the rest of the current season also invokes provocative discussions - and yet, there's still more to hear in our discussion.  So listen in to the podcast, come to one (or both) of the performances this weekend March 26th and 27th at the Nebraska Repertory Theatre, and then plan your next trip to St. Louis to see Ron's other illuminating productions! ***** NEBRASKA REPERTORY THEATRE CONTACT INFO: Website: https://nebraskarep.org/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nebraskarep Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nebraskarep/ Box Office phone number 402-472-2567. 301 N 12th St, Lincoln, NE 68508 ***** ST.
