Episode Details

RealTime Arts present their July program, Equitable Dinners, a play, a meal, and a conversation. Co-Founders Rusty Thelin and Molly Rice, and performer Malika Cleckley, spoke with Anna Singer live on the QED Afternoon Show about the events.

Rusty talks about the origin of the program, which began with Out of Hand Theater in Atlanta, Georgia. Molly goes over what to expect--she wrote the play based on conversations with Pennsylvanians about what it means to be American. The evening is meant to encourage friendly discourse between attendees. Malika relates her experience of creating in the midst of activity and preparing for such an intimate role.

Equitable Dinners runs from July 8th-31st at various small venues. In addition to the intimate dinners, a public performance will be given on July 24th at the Millvale Food and Energy Hub. Venue locations, more information, and tickets are available on RealTime Arts' website.
