SHEILA: A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF by Kirsten Greenidge

About this episode

The episode features a world-premiere audio play by Kirsten Greenidge, exploring the challenges of living with a zealot.

It's not easy living with a zealot. Or being at the local supermarket where he prowls. Suppose you like bacon? Suppose disposable diapers? There is interference in the air. Sheila: A Year In The Life Of is a world-premiere James Stevenson commission from Playwright Laureate of Boston Kirsten Greenidge ( Milk Like Sugar ). Melia Bensussen (Artistic Director of Hartford Stage) directs a terrific ensemble of Seret Scott , Postell Pringle , Nikkole Salter , Brittany Allen , Mary Bacon , Marchánt Davis , and Lee Wilkof . Stay tuned after the performance for a conversation among the playwright, actors, and Playing on Air's founder, Claudia Catania.
