    Anne Curzan Says
    Jul 23 2024
    Linguistics professor and podcast host Anne Curzan talks about her new book Says Who? A Kinder, Funner Usage Guide for Everyone Who Cares About Words, which is exactly what it says: A fun and lively conversation about language and the kinds of rules that helpful, and the kind you can ignore. Anne reveals how she came to study language and its history; how she values reducing ambiguity and promoting clarity; the importance of knowing your audience; how to approach new words and usages like a birdwatcher; and how she can assist in the epic struggle between your inner “wordie” and your inner “grammando.” (Length 18:47)

    Lili-Anne Brown directs the fabulously funny and moving Writers Theatre production of Katori Hall's Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Hot Wing King that's filled with extraordinary heart and comic specificity. Brown shares what drew her to this group of flamboyant characters; the challenge of cooking real hot wings onstage; how she brings grandeur to The Hot Wing King and intimacy to the musical The Color Purple; and how you should definitely come for the LOLs but stay for the dramá.

    Independent Shakespeare Company
    Jul 8 2024
    Independent Shakespeare Company celebrates its 20th anniversary of producing free Shakespeare in the parks of Los Angeles, and artistic director Melissa Chalsma talks about the journey ISC has taken to get here and "the longterm relationship" she's in with William Shakespeare. Chalsma reveals the challenges and rewards of not knowing what the hell you’re doing when you’re starting out; how ISC matches LA's casual vibe; how, no matter how long you’ve been working on Shakespeare’s plays, he’s always just out of reach; memories of As You Like Its we have known and loved; the joy of being in a collaborative conversation with a playwright who’s been dead for 400 years; and the importance of never underestimating the power of your own naïveté.
