Ed Dwight - The Space Race

Ruby Jones speaks with Denver artist Ed Dwight, the first Black astronaut candidate for NASA’s space program.

Film directors Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortés profile the pioneering pilots, scientists, and engineers who joined NASA to serve their country in space, even as their country failed to achieve equality for them back on Earth.

Brianna Buckley & Sekou Laidlow - Clyde's

Listen to my talk with Brianna Buckley and Sekou Laidlow, as they discuss Clyde’s, a Tony Award-winning theatrical production by Pulitzer Prize-winner, Lynn Nottage.

At Clyde’s, formerly incarcerated individuals cook up meals that range from sublime to soul-crushing. Even as the surly shop owner tries to keep them under her thumb, their kitchen mentor, Montrellous, guides them on a quest to create the perfect sandwich – and reclaim their lives. Through this shared pursuit, each cook must face their demons on their personal journeys towards purpose, self-worth, and even salvation.

Directed by Jamil Jude, Clyde’s will be playing at Denver Center for the Performing Arts’ Kilstrom Theatre from Oct. 27 to Nov. 26, 2023. Visit www.DenverCenter.org for tickets.

Alicia "Lisa" Young - Black Nativity

Listen to my talk with Alicia "Lisa" Young, director of Black Nativity, playing December 1 to 30 at Vintage Theatre in Aurora, Colorado.

Black Nativity, the joyous holiday musical, is a modern retelling of the traditional account of the Nativity story from an African American perspective. Using gospel music, African beats, dramatic dance, and a biblical narrative Black Nativity opened for a limited run of 57 performances at Broadway's 41st St. Theatre on December 11, 1961. It was written and conceived by one of the legendary leaders of the Harlem Renaissance: Black playwright, poet, novelist, and social activist Langston Hughes.
