August Wilson's 'Fences', the True False film fest, and MOSY on the Rocks

The arts are starting to emerge from their January hiatus and this week Diana Moxon chats with three people who are making arts things happen. Actor and Director, Richard Harris, talks about his love for August Wilson plays and about Columbia Entertainment Company's upcoming production of 'Fences' (Feb 3-20); Ragtag Film Society's Co-Director, Barbie Banks, imparts some updates on next month's True False film fest (March 3-6); and the Missouri Symphony Orchestra's Executive Director, Trent Rash, chats about two upcoming events: MOSY on the Rocks (February 14th) which pairs classical music with Dogmaster Distillery cocktails, and Chicago's Juliani Ensemble's visit to the Missouri Theatre (February 12th). Opening and closing music 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.
