THE RED COAT by John Patrick Shanley

Today, we are back with a Playing on Air favorite!  POA Regular, Playwright John Patrick Shanley and his two-hander, "The Red Coat".   It's been an exciting '25-'26 Season here at Playing on Air!  We've got 1 play left that drops in two weeks, "A Headspace Meditation" by Mara Nelson-Greenberg. This season, 4 of our plays are commissions.  In December, we premiered "73, SK." by Else Went, directed by Emma Rosa Went, and "The Corner Cafe" by Charles Mee, directed by Tom Dugdale.  Two weeks ago, we premiered the inaugural MC Libby Commission, "Father's Sin" by Maleek Rae with music by Xander Browne. Directed by POA Alum, Goldie E. Patrick. ABOUT THE PLAY, "THE RED COAT": A teenage boy in the Bronx lies in wait outside a party for a girl he hardly knows. His mission, which he accomplishes with touching, if halting, effectiveness, is to tell her that he loves her.  The cast of  "The Red Coat" features two POA Alums, Amy Ryan and Michael Stuhlbarg.  Playing on Air is hosted by Artistic Director, Joshua Kahan Brody and Associate Artistic Director & Creative Producer, Garlia Cornelia Jones.  __ Episode Credits Hosted by Joshua Kahan Brody & Garlia Cornelia Jones Produced by Garlia Cornelia Jones & Joshua Kahan Brody Recording, Audio editing and sound design by John Kilgore   Our Theme Music is by Tom Kochan.
