Tony Award-winner and one of Time Magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2022, Michael R. Jackson will join me in The Locher Room.

Michael Will be here to talk about his Tony and Pulitzer Prize winning Broadway show, A Strange Loop as well as his love of daytime television and Guiding Light. One of Michael’s favorite daytime actresses, Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne Lewis) will join Michael for this interview. Both Kim & I saw A Strange Loop and were blown away by this raw and beautiful piece of art. We encourage you all to go see it.

A Strange Loop won Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Musical, the Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle award. The New York Times called it a “laparoscopy of the heart, soul, and loins… [a] gutsy, jubilantly anguished musical with infectious melodies". The New Yorker wrote "To watch this show is to enter, by some urgent, bawdy magic, an ecstatic and infinitely more colorful version of the famous surreal lithograph by M. C. Escher.” Awards and associations: Dramatist Guild Fellowship, Page 73’s Writers Group, New Professional Theatre Festival Award, Jonathan Larson Grant, Lincoln Center Emerging Artist Award, ASCAP Foundation Harold Adamson Award, Whiting Award, Helen Merrill Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Drama Desk Award, Obie Award, Antonyo Award, Fred Ebb Award, Windham-Campbell Prize.

Don’t miss the chance to hear from this Tony-winning playwright and watch him meet one of his daytime TV favorites in The Locher Room.
