A CONVERSATION WITH… Kathleen Turner and Edward Albee
Kathleen Turner and Edward Albee reflect on his plays, the reviews, inspiration, and what he considers to be the emerging “commercialism” of Broadway theater. “The problem about live theater is it costs so damned much to put on,” says Albee “an audience that goes to the theater for escapism is a different audience than one that goes to engage and think about stuff.”

Julian Bond, Chairman of the NAACP, a giant in the movement for Black Civil Rights, has been on the frontline for equal rights in America for over four decades. He is also an outspoken advocate for the rights of America’s gays and lesbians.
