August 9, 2019 - Symonne Sparks, Talking Horse Productions - 'Dancing Lessons'

On this week's show, Diana Moxon talks to singer Symonne Sparks about musical theatre, her incredible vocal range and what it feels like to sing the National Anthem in front of 50,000 football fans. And in the second half of the show, director Melissa Alpers-Springer and actor Laura Liebhart stop by to talk about their new production of the Mark St. Germain romantic comedy, "Dancing Lessons", now showing at Talking Horse theatre, which explores how a person with Asperger's syndrome navigates a dancing lesson with a dancer in a leg brace.

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.
