Today the show’s all about performances in our neck of the woods. In advance of “Peter Pan” being performed @ Segerstrom Hall Aug 6-18 is our first guest, Larissa FastHorse. Speaking as an enrolled member of the Sicangu Lakota, a playwright, and MacArthur fellow, Larissa talks about her intentions around re-writing a standard bearer of a musical, as well as taking back some space for Indigenous Peoples. In the second segment (approx. minute 31:12), O.C. native Armanda Gutierrez brings his many parts in South Coast Repertory’s production, a play with music, “The Old Man & The Old Moon.” This will be the last season of SCR Outside at the Mission in San Juan Capistrano. It’s running now through August 11th.
