ANN ARBOR, Mich.–In TheaterTalkPlus podcast #2, Editor-in-Chief David Kiley talks to Encore critic Patty Nolan about the new play from Theatre Nova: “Kill, Move, Paradise”; a bit about the state of play for African-American actors in SE Michigan; Opera Modo and how they shake up the JamHandy and the Detroit opera scene; the Estate sale at the home of the late Dr. David DiChiera’s; the new play at The Slipstream featuring Richard Payton as Oscar Wilde.

We also chat about the close of the 2018-19 season as the critics head into a day of deliberation over Wilde Award nominations, a possible change of venue for The Wilde Awards and a bit about wrapping up our 5&10 fund-raiser to help EncoreMichigan offset its annual costs.

We break a bit of news for some folks about the return of a Tony Award winning director to one of our theaters, and a few more tidbits and behind the scenes chatter about Michigan theatre.
