CRISIS PLANNING by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb

About this episode

The episode features a world premiere play by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb exploring the significance of milestone birthdays.

What's with these birthdays that end in a zero? How is it that a mere multiple of ten can wield such power? A touch of wit and love language can help. Crisis Planning is a world premiere James Stevenson commission from Bay Area-playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb ( The Making of a Great Moment ). Directed by Jason Eagan (Founding Artistic Director of Ars Nova ), the play features Andrew Garman ( The Holdovers , "The Gilded Age") and PoA legend April Matthis ( Mary Jane , The Piano Lesson ). Stay tuned after the performance for a conversation among the playwright, actors, and Playing on Air's founder, Claudia Catania.
