New plays, giant checks and rare 18th century tiny treasures

New plays, giant checks, and tiny 18th century rare treasures all make an appearance on this week's Speaking of the Arts with host Diana Moxon. Playwrights Monica Senecal Palmer and Mark Baumgartner drop in to chat about Talking Horse Production's Starting Gate New Play Festival 2021 and how it feels to send a play out into the world; Lisa Braman Bartlett and Lois Kay talk about the Veterans United Foundation's $231,530 donation to the North Village Arts District and the sculpture/art walk it will fund; and antique dealer Doug Solliday talks about Bilston patch boxes and feeling the ghosts in antiques! Opening and closing music credits with thanks to guitarist Yasmin Williams (www.yasminwilliamsmusic.com).

What is Speaking of the Arts?

Speaking of the Arts is mid-Missouri's only weekly arts show. The show is hosted by Diana Moxon, who chats with actors, directors, authors, musicians, festival directors, event organizers, arts curators, and artists about the events they are involved in and also about their own works and their influences. Whilst the show focuses mainly on the mid-Missouri arts scene, Diana's guests have included international composers, conductors, authors as well as artists, musicians, and performers from around Missouri.
