On this Friday episode of The Yay, Norman and I welcome Barbara Michelson-Harder, actress and co-owner of Off-Broadway West (and the wife of Richard Harder, who was on Episode 26 of the Yay). We talk about current events, like the 18 year old black woman killed on a Bart train, the US being the worst developed country for women giving birth, and Barbara's take on holding on to your faith in the age of Trump. Barbara also talks about her upbringing in Jim Crow Jacksonville, FL, her migration to the bay during the 60's and the ins and outs of producing and handling the business of running a theater company.
