Queer Lit“Queer Exiles” with Ben RobbinsFrom Christopher Isherwood to Djuna Barnes, some of the most prolific queer writers of the 20th century wrote in exile. Ben Robbins joins me to explain how and why queer writers connected with each other in exile and how (in)voluntary movement shaped their stories. Ben shares some surprising encounters from the archives and paints a picture of some of the locations of queer exile: Berlin, Tangier and Capri.

Songs for the Struggling ArtistThis Show Needed Gertrude SteinI saw an adaptation of a Thornton Wilder play at The Public and it made me real mad. My only comfort is that apparently Thornton Wilder used to get real mad at everything he saw as well, so I guess I’m in good company.The show was an adaptation of The Skin of Our Teeth, which, for the most part, just involved throwing some songs into it. It was mostly harmless, I suppose. I’d never seen The Skin of Our Teeth and this production made me go straight home to read it so I guess it d...

Second Stage PodcastS1E3: Our Town by Thornton WilderIf you could seal up a single day from your old hometown into a time capsule for a hundred years, what would it look like?For some folks, small-town life is not it.

The Lit Hub PodcastNovember 7, 2025The world is ending... the world is ending... but if the world is ending, that means it hasn't ended yet. After seeing The Seat of Our Pants at The Public Theater (running thru at least the end of the month!), it's never been clearer that Thornton Wilder is America's great under-appreciated literary trickster. His keen playful writing combines magical realism, genre-busting humor, literary zip—and there are few people better suited to adapting Wilder than Ethan Lipton. He joins us this week alongside Jeremy McCarter, Wilder's literary executor, for a look into the man's genius, this play's stil...

I Mae Be Wrong, But...The Afterparty of Love (Grief) x Thornton WilderIn this November installment of I Mae Be Wrong, But…, Caroline Mae Woodson engages with the notion that grief is “love with nowhere to go,” using Thornton Wilder’s line “the highest tribute to the dead is not grief, but gratitude.” We talk about a grandmother’s engagement ring, a kitchen recipe card, and to broader themes of remembrance and living well, rather than simply mourning.Interweaving pop-culture examinations of the show “Long Story Short”, the series “WandaVision”, and the song “The Luckiest” —she explores how grief and gratitude can sift into our everyday lives, not by vanishing, but by transfo...

Why does this play from 1938 continue to speak to contemporary audiences, and how does it speak differently in different settings? How is it both timeless and continually timely? And how have contemporary stagings dealt with its reputation as a wholesome, dull chestnut? Whether performed in a maximum security prison, at a hospital, or at prestigious theatres like Manchester's Royal Exchange Theatre, Our Town communicates a universal message about paying careful attention to the...

STAGES with Peter Eyers'We all know that something is eternal' - Arts Administrator, Advocate and Author, Howard ShermanA work of startling originality when it debuted in 1938, Thornton Wilder's Our Town evolved to be seen by some as a vintage slice of early 20th Century Americana, rather than being fully appreciated for its complex and eternal themes and its deceptively simple form. Another day's Begun: Thornton Wilder's Our Town in the Twentieth Century is a new book that shines a light on the play's continued impact in the 21st century and makes a case for the healing powers of Wilder's text to a world confronting multiple crises. In this episode I am joined by the author, Howard Sherman.

Music SpeaksHello Dolly!I sat down with my co-host, Hunter Sigona to do a deep dive into the acclaimed musical, Hello Dolly!
Hello, Dolly! is a 1964 musical with lyrics and music by Jerry Herman and a book by Michael Stewart, based on Thornton Wilder's 1938 farce The Merchant of Yonkers, which Wilder revised and retitled The Matchmaker in 1955. The musical follows the story of Dolly Gallagher Levi, a strong-willed matchmaker, as she travels to Yonkers, New York, to find a match for the miserly "well-known unmarried half-a-millionaire" Horace Vandergelder.

Colorado Chinese Podcasts 科罗拉多华人播客丹佛，我们的家系列 - 阿斯彭的故事“这是一个在大山里的小镇，好多的屋子都已经年久失修，看上去有一些历史的旅社也几乎荒废，街上也不时的有游民和酒鬼咆哮，虽然在雪山一旁，但似乎时间在这个地方停止，数十年如一日，滑雪设备还蛮阳春的”，这是伊丽莎白佩普基（Elizabeth Paepcke）和友人到这个科州小镇的第一印象，但她却爱上了这里的宁静，这里的与世无争，在往后的几十年里这个小镇就如她和先生的世外桃源，他们一手一脚把这个小镇从一个蓬头垢面的姑娘，打扮成了雍容华贵的公主，这一年是1939年，这个小镇叫做阿斯彭（Aspen）。其实一开始佩普基先生（Walter Paepcke）对这个让太太一见钟情的地方没有特别的印象，一直到1945年才踏足这里，但在商场打滚多年的他看到了这里的未来，这里发展的无限前景。此后他买下了这里不少因为欠税被政府充公的地皮。1946年起他陆陆续续的创立了阿斯彭滑雪公司（Aspen Ski Company），造了世界最长的滑雪吊车，找了世界著名滑雪场建筑师为这个城市改装，但他知道阿斯彭需要的是一个契机，让大家能够看见它的美，感受到它的独一无二的契机。1949年是古典主义代表人物，著名诗人，剧作家，文学家歌德（Johann Wolfgang von Goethe）的200岁冥诞，这个就是佩普基先生期待已久让阿斯彭登上世界舞台的契机。在那个二战过后世界动荡的年代，佩普基先生请缨在阿斯彭举办一场纪念歌德生辰的活动（Goethe Bicentennial），邀请世界最知名的哲学家，文学家，音乐家，到阿斯彭这个世外桃源，汇聚一堂，来一场思想风暴，讨论今后世界的何去何从。他广发英雄帖，邀请了数千位有影响力的绅士名媛到阿斯彭来欣赏被誉为二十世纪最杰出钢琴家的鲁宾斯坦（Arthur Rubinstein）演奏，来凝听曾经拿过三次普利兹奖（Pulitzer Prize）的美国著名小说家，剧作家桑顿怀尔德（Thornton Wilder），曾经提名过10次诺贝尔文学奖，7次诺贝尔和平奖的德国神学家马丁布伯（Martin Buber），著名西班牙哲学家加塞特（José Ortega y Gasset）等等带领当时世界思想的巨擎分享他们的所思所想。而最让人津津乐道的是这个活动还邀请到了从未踏足美国，一生在非洲奉献行医被誉为现代基督的丛林医生圣哲史怀哲（Albert Schweitzer）驾临，这是史怀哲医生唯一一次来到美国，让世界媒体聚焦阿斯彭，提升了阿斯彭的高度，也打造了阿斯彭这个名牌。两年后安塞尔亚当斯（Ansel Adams）在湖畔拍下那张让世人惊艳的褐铃山（Maroon Bells）美景，自此永远改变了阿斯彭和褐铃山的命运则是后话。而后佩普基先生创立了世界著名的阿斯彭学院（Aspen Institute），这些年来每一年都广邀群贤，到这里高谈阔论，各抒己见，让阿斯彭论坛成为了带领世界思想潮流的华山论剑，也让阿斯彭如同一颗明星一样继续发光发亮。
