August Wilson's 'Jitney', an artist jeweler, and an exit interview

This week's show is a little bit of a mash up of new and old. New is a chat with actor, director and music producer, Richard Harris, about the August Wilson play 'Jitney', in which he is performing with The Black Rep Theatre of St Louis. The Second Act of the show is a return to a conversation from last July with St Louis artist jeweler, Allison Norfleet Bruenger, who will be returning to Columbia the first weekend in June for this year's Art in the Park festival. And in Act Three, show host Diana Moxon revisits a chat from a few weeks ago with vocal performer and actor, Anthony Blatter about his past five years performing on Mizzou and community stages.

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.
