Midterm Elections and the theatre

Just about a week to go before the midterm election, and there’s a lot riding on what happens. Obviously. And the stage seems to know that, too.

Anthony Byrnes hosts Opening the Curtain on LA Theatre, talks with All Things Considered host, Steve Chiotakis, about art in the age of hyper-politics.
