We talk about the 19th and latest installment in Carthage College's New Play Initiative: "The Theory of the Leisure Class" by Kristin Idaszak. We speak with Neil Scharnick, Associate Professor of Theater and the directort of this production, and Ava Bucur, a junior theater major at Carthage, who is a member of the cast. The play reimagines two noteworthy events of the late 19th century: the glittering Vanderbilt Ball in 1883 and the Haymarket Riots in 1886 .... two occasions that present starkly different faces of America in the so-called Gilded Age. This new play is being performed October 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, and 31 in Wartburg Auditorium.
