Midday on WNYC | Jan 24, 2018

Playwright Dael Orlandersmith discusses Until the Flood, which she wrote and performs in. Written in response to Michael Brown’s death and commissioned by the St. Louis Repertory Theater, Orlandersmith portrays the many voices found within St. Louis, giving each a chance to take center stage and holding no one viewpoint above others. Until the Flood is playing at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater through Sunday, February 18th.
