On this episode of The Gala Show, Gala sits down with acclaimed playwright Michelle Kholos Brooks (H*tler's Tasters, Hostage, and the upcoming War Words) to chat all about how to adapt life stories without exploiting the real person they are based on.  Michelle shares with Gala how she got her start as a writer, the story behind Hostage, and a funny story about a cabby — but first, a question about how one can juggle a fruitful career and motherhood.

Check out Michelle's new play War Words playing at the A.R.T./New York from November 14th to through December 17th.  Tickets are available through On The Stage.
