Today on Home Grown, we talk to artists from two very different plays. First, local pastor Xavier Jackson from Chapman Grove Baptist Church visits the show. He’s part of the cast of Justice on Trial: Black Lives Matter Too and talks about what it’s been like to be part of a show that’s Broadway bound. Next, we greet a trio of artists from Live Arts’ current production of Sweet Charity. Director, Maria Reiff, Musical Director Kristin Baltes, and Costume Designer Miriam Halpern grace our airwaves to give us the ins and outs of bringing a 1966 musical about taxi dancers to life on our town’s favorite small stage. It’s another theater double shot on Home Grown: Your Show about Local Art.
Home Grown is heard on 94.7 WPVC the Progressive Voice of Charlottesville, Sundays from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.
