LA Theatre Works to Broadcast MIMI'S GUIDE on Local Radio and Website, 11/7

This weekend, beginning Saturday, November 7, L.A. Theatre Works will air Mimi's Guide by Doris Baizley starring Powers Boothe and Frances Conroy. The broadcast can be heard locally in Southern California on Saturday from 10 pm to midnight on KPCC 89.3 FM, and can also be streamed on demand at http://www.latw.org/.

The sensuality of Louisiana's humid, jasmine-scented air permeates this love triangle about three people who are haunted by the memories of the Vietnam war. In addition to the performance, the broadcast includes two interviews about the Vietnam War, with cartographer John Rennie Short and psychological operations expert Herbert A. Friedman, and an interview with the playwright.

L.A. Theatre Works' radio theater series can also be heard on the following stations (check local listings for broadcast times): 89.7 WGBH, Boston, MA; 91.5 WBEZ, Chicago, IL; 94.9 KUOW, Seattle, WA; 90.1 WABE, Atlanta, GA; 94.1 KPFA, Berkeley, CA; 91.1 KRCB, North Bay (San Francisco, CA); 89.1 KVPR, Fresno, CA; 89.3 KPRX, Bakersfield, CA; and many other stations nationwide.

Mark Taper Foundation is a private family foundation dedicated to enhancing the quality of people's lives by supporting non-profit organizations and their work in the community.
