The Carthage College Theater Department is about to present performances October 13,14 and 15 of "Frontline- a Verbatim Play," which tells the story of a half dozen front line health care works contending with the extraordinary challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic.  Originally conceived as a pre-recorded virtual production seen over Zoom, it is presented now as a stage performance before a live audience. This is a rebroadcast of the interview done when the play was presented earlier this year.   Martin McClendon is a professor of theater- and Melissa Schmidt was a student in the Verbatim Theater class that put this play together in the first place.  

For the third and final time this week, we are focusing on Alzheimer's.  This is an archival interview from 2017 I recorded with former Wisconsin governor Martin Schreiber, talking about his memoir "My Two Elaines:  Learning, Coping and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver."    The book chronicles what it was like for Schreiber to care for his beloved wife Elaine as she slowly succumbed to the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease.  (She died earlier this year.)

In honor of Carthage College's Fall Choral Concert, which is Sunday afternoon - we are replaying a conversation from several years ago that featured choral composer Jocelyn Hagen - along with Carthage music professor Dr. Peter Dennee - talking about a piece that Ms. Hagen was commissioned to write for Carthage's Christmas Festival.  A work by Ms. Hagen ("To See the Sky") is being performed Sunday afternoon by the Carthage Choir under their new conductor, Dr. Maggie Burk.
