Interview with Woodberry Playwrights to Air on WVTF
An interview with a Woodberry faculty member and an alumnus who collaborated on the creation of a play inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe story will air July 17 and 18 on WVTF, a National Public Radio affiliate that serves much of central and western Virginia as well as parts of North Carolina.
Brent Cirves, Woodberry's fine arts chair, and Mike Johnson '05, Woodberry's technical theater manager this past year, will talk about their original dramatic musical, The Fall of the House of Usher, on July 17 at 2 pm on the station's RadioIQ affiliate and at 6:00 am on the mother station, WVTF, and again on July 18 at 3:00 pm on RadioIQ. Listeners can hear the interview live at www.wvtf.org. It will be posted to the station's Web site at a later date.
Cirves wrote the play and Johnson composed its music. Usher premiered last summer at fringe festivals in New York and Washington, D.C., where it was voted Best Musical.
