September 6, 2019 - Talking Horse theatre "Red"; Daniel Boone Regional Library One Read

In the late 1950's abstract expressionist painter, Mark Rothko, was commissioned to create a series of paintings for the swanky, new Four Seasons restaurant in New York's Seagram's building - an episode in the painter's life that screenwriter John Logan turned into a play called 'Red'. Actors Aaron Krawitz and Adam Brietzke join Diana to talk about the play which is running for two weeks at Talking Horse Theatre. And for the second act of the show, Diana talks to Daniel Boone Regional Library's Lauren Williams about this year's One Read book 'Nomadland Surviving America in the 21st Century' by journalist Jessica Bruder.

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.
