For transcripts, see individual segment pages.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning retelling of "Hamlet," "Fat Ham," is now on Broadway! Playwright James Ijames and director Saheem Ali have turned the classic Shakespeare show into a comedy about a queer Black college student named Juicy who is reluctant to avenge his father's murder. Joining us to discuss the show is Marcel Spears, who plays Juicy, and Nikki Crawford, who plays his mother. "Fat Ham" is running at American Airlines Theatre until June 25.

This Spring, The Greene Space's Artist in Residence is The Civilians, a theater company based in Brooklyn. Tonight, The Civilians will put on a show called, "Liveness: A Performance Made From The WNYC Archives," which will mix original 1970s recordings from our archives along with performances embodying the voices that New Yorkers heard on the air during the time period. Director and writer Steve Cosson is with us to preview the show. You can find information about tickets here.

The new documentary, "Judy Blume Forever," celebrates the life and work of Judy Blume, the author whose books have brought generations of adolescent readers comfort and entertainment during a turbulent part of life. Directors Davina Pardo and Leah Wolchok join us to talk about the film, and take your calls.

It's been 40 years since guitarist John Pizzarelli released his debut album, and he's celebrating with a brand new one. Stage & Screen features songs from musical theater and Hollywood movies, and comes out April 21. Pizzarelli will also be at Birdland for a week starting April 25 to kick off his tour. He joins us for a Listening Party.
