Woodstock 99, JP Brammer, New York Theatre Workshop Preview, New Work From Whitney White, 'STOMP' Returns
All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jul 21, 2021
Woodstock 99 was supposed to be a fun, peaceful gathering honoring the history of the original festival. Instead, it turned into a nightmare of toxic masculinity and destruction. The new documentary "Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage" dives into the factors that led to the implosion of the event, from the lack of shade, security, lodging and basic necessities to the destructive energy of some of the performers. Director Garrett Price joins to discuss.
Author, illustrator and advice columnist, JP Brammer joins us to talk his new memoir-in-essays ¡Hola Papi!: How to Come Out in a Walmart Parking Lot and Other Life Lessons, which was released on June 8. Based on his popular advice column of the same name, Brammer explores his life as a 'mixed-race queer kid' growing up in rural Oklahoma.
New York Theatre Workshop's Literary Director and Dramaturg Aaron Malkin joins us to share a preview of the upcoming seasons, launching this summer after being closed for over a year.
Writer/director Whitney White, whose new filmed theatrical experience and installation, "SEMBLANCE", launches the New York Theatre Workshop's new season, joins us to talk about the production. Nikiya Mathis, who stars in the show, will also join.
On Tuesday, "STOMP" became one of the first major productions to reopen to audiences in New York City, after over a year of shutdowns. "STOMP" co-creator and self-taught percussionist Luke Cresswell joins to discuss the show's return.
