WGTD's The Morning Show with Greg Berg WGTD

We preview Carthage's production of Maury Yeston's musical "Nine" with Neil Scharnick, stage director of the production, and two of the students in the cast: Chase Juster (Guido Contini) and Emily Halfman (Luisa.) The musical is based on the story told in Fellini's classic film 8 1/2 about a middle-aged Italian film director experiencing a wrenching creative and personal crisis that drives him into encounters with or recollections of the women who have been a significant part of his past.

We speak with Rachel Swartz from the theater faculty of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside about their production of "Peter and the Star Catcher," which runs for the next two weekends on their main stage. The musical (and the novel upon which its based) seeks to expand on the familiar story of Peter Pan.

Professor Tom Noer was a member of the history faculty at Carthage College for 46 years. He passed away on April 7th. In his memory, I want to re-share my final Morning Show interview with him, which was recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this conversation, he talks about other health scares and epidemics in America's past.
