Acclaimed playwright Jeannie Barroga returns to us for the third time! Stanford University has honored her by having her collection of plays in their library; she received a National Endowment for the Arts award for “Walls” and her book, Turn Right At The Water Buffalo is on Regent Press’s Best Seller’s List. Jeannie joins Norman and I on Zoom where she’ll talk about the book, the current state of theatre in the midst of COVID-19 and we’ll talk on the effects of today’s culture war on theatre – whether it’s helping or hurting theatre and will we see a new type of theater when things open up again.
You can buy Turn Right At The Water Buffalo at any Barnes and Noble and you can buy it online:
