Speaking of the Arts

This week on Speaking of the Arts Diana Moxon talks with actors Rochara Knight and Meg Phillips Crespy, along with director Blake Willoughby, about the Hollywood movie production code, the legacy of African-American actors in the 1930's, and their new production of the Lynn Nottage play 'By the Way, Meet Vera Stark', opening at Talking Horse Theatre on October 11th. In the second act of the show, painter Amy Meyer and ceramic artist Norleen Nosri, chat to Diana about their new art exhibits -- 'Transitions and Thresholds' and 'Of Service: Memories', now on display at the Columbia College Galleries -- and the influence each of their fathers had on their work.

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.
