About
In this deeply thoughtful episode of Curtain Call, Tom Candela sits down with playwright, director, memoirist, and Theater Three Collaborative co-founder Karen Malpede for a far-reaching conversation about a life spent exploring what theatre can be—and what it can do. From the roots of her political and poetic vision to the personal grief that shaped her memoir Last Radiance: Radical Lives, Bright Deaths, Malpede reflects on art as witness, community, and a means of staying fully present to the world. The conversation also looks ahead to her upcoming March 29 appearance at Farm Arts Collective as part of My Bookish Friends: A Literary Afternoon.
