Behind the Mic with AudioFile Magazine

James Baldiwn’s three-act play about the power of religion to shield people from the outside world has a cast that is quirky, protective, gossipy, dogmatic, and spirited. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this full cast performance that honors Baldiwn’s narrative and enhances it by capturing the intensity and emotions of the play. This is a story of the highs and lows of passionate people who are trying to survive the best way they can.
