Hey listeners, I just wanted to give you a heads up that there's a little more swearing

than usual in this week's episode, but this is working, so it's really creative swearing.

Okay, on with the show.

You novelist with your god's eye view to just tell us what people are thinking.

Theater is so stupid. Not only do I just have dialogue, I then have to give that dialogue

to a different human. Right.

Jesus Christ. It's an art form built on trust. It's terrible.

Welcome back to working. I'm your host, June Thomas.

And I am your other host, Isaac Butler.

Isaac, who's refreshingly frank and undeniably satirical opinion?

Did we hear at the top of the show?

What a good way of describing it.

That was the voice of the very talented and incredibly funny and incredibly smart.

Playwright Antoinette Chenoye Wando. Her play Passover is about to open on Broadway.

It's in part a reworking of waiting for Godot that tells the story of two young black men

who are trying to get off their street corner and the various problems both realistic and not

that they face as they do so.

Wow. I confess that I have become aware of Antoinette's work only recently because Passover is

going to be the first play to open on Broadway since everything was interrupted by the pandemic.

And I've already heard your conversation with her. It was fascinating.

But I'm glad to have a chance to ask you about some of the things and the people that you got into.

So are you ready to decode some theater talk for us?
