Revolution They Wrote Festival on special Champions of the Local Scene: 5pm

On a special edition of Champions of the Local Scene (5 pm, Wed. March 11), we have the team from Revolution They Wrote Festival in studio! Sarah from Best of the West will guest host, interviewing festival organizer Emily Schon about RTW: Concordia's Short Works Feminist Theatre Festival. Discussion topics will include this year's programming, why it was time to change directions from the traditional production of The Vagina Monologues, and festival beneficiary organization: Queer Concordia. Three original theatre pieces- written, produced, and performed by students will be presented at Café Cleopatra (March 13 & 14: 7:30 pm) and Georges-Vanier Cultural Center (March 15: 1:30 pm). Theatrical subjects include transphobia, abuse, drug use, and stereotypes. Actors Caite 'Calypso' Clark and Judy Kenigsberg will be in studio to read a scene from Michelle Soicher's play Eat/Fast- a piece examining the collide between tradition and sexuality as a young woman struggles to come out to her Bubbie on Yom Kippur. Tune in at 5pm to hear compelling radio theatre and to find out more about the talent comprising this important and unique festival. CJLO will be doing ticket giveaways for each night- so get ready! Finally, keep listening at 6 pm for a double edition of Champions of the Local Scene where Sarah and Jacob from Don't Mess This Up, Jacob will be talking comedy with some special (and mysterious!) guests from the Montreal Comedy scene... Get tuned!
