    Inside 'American Sublime': Amy Sherald’s homecoming at the High Museum

    For more than a year, ‘Amy Sherald: American Sublime’ packed museums in San Francisco, New York, and Baltimore. Now the exhibition — the largest of the Georgia native’s work to date — has arrived at its final stop: Atlanta’s High Museum, the city where Sherald honed her craft. On this episode of WABE Arts, Sherri Daye Scott talks with Angelica Arbelaez, assistant curator of modern and contemporary art at the High, about what visitors will find inside: the visual language Sherald developed over nearly 20 years, the new triptych created specifically for this show, and how the museum has organized an exhibition that asks you to slow down and meet the gaze of every subject in the room. 🎨  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    ‘Basura’: Gloria and Emily Estefan on writing music that serves the story

    In 2019, producer Michael Shulman invited Gloria Estefan to score a musical he was developing based on ‘Landfill Harmonic,’  a documentary about a children’s orchestra in Paraguay that builds its instruments from recycled trash. Estefan invited her daughter Emily to write alongside her. On this episode of WABE Arts, Sherri Daye Scott talks with Gloria and Emily Estefan — during rehearsals at the Alliance Theatre ahead of the musical’s May 30 premiere — about what it takes to write original music for the stage: the panic, the process, the songs that didn’t survive, and why Atlanta audiences will help shape what ‘Basura’ becomes. 🎭 See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Donnie: The road back to the stage

    🎶 Almost twenty-five years ago, singer-songwriter Donnie released “The Colored Section”,  a gospel-rooted concept album that became a touchstone of Atlanta’s indie soul scene. Then he disappeared from public life for nearly two decades. On this episode of WABE Arts, Donnie sits down with WABE Arts & Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott ahead of his performance at the 49th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival to talk about the communities that haped him, the long years away, and what it meant when Atlanta called him back. 🎹  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Biographer Matthew Hild on the life and legacy of Olivia Newton-John

    🎭 Georgia Tech historian Matthew Hild spent years researching the woman behind the pop star — and he argues the most iconic thing Olivia Newton-John ever did wasn’t star in “Grease” or sing “Physical.” It was the cancer treatment center she fought to build in Australia, which now draws patients from around the world. Hild talks with WABE Arts and Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott about why John Travolta compared Newton-John’s star power to Taylor Swift’s, how “Grease” erased her country music legacy, and the Atlanta ties that thread through her story. 🎵  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    🎭 Shakespeare’s “Macbeth,” reimagined as a ’90s sitcom, staged outdoors in a Georgia meadow.

The world premiere opened May 8 and runs through May 17. deLoache talks with WABE Arts and Culture Editor Sherri Daye Scott about what the show actually is and what staging a world premiere outdoors in May in Georgia demands — technically, physically, and creatively. 🎭  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
