    Nora Sorena Casey & Arthur Makaryan Talk THE CENSORSHIP OF DREAMS!

    Nora Sorena Casey and director Arthur Makaryan join me to talk about The Censorship of Dreams, a striking new theatrical work arriving at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club. The piece dives deep into the power of dreams—how they shape identity, challenge authority, and reveal truths we often try to suppress. Set against a world where imagination itself feels policed, the story asks what happens when even our inner lives are no longer free. Running May 1–17, the production promises an intimate, thought-provoking experience that blends emotional storytelling with urgent cultural questions. We get into the creative process behind building this world, how personal and political themes collide in the piece, and why now feels like the exact right moment for a show like this. Nora and Arthur share insight into collaboration, trust, and the vulnerability it takes to put something this honest on stage. It’s a conversation about art as resistance, imagination as survival, and what it really means to protect your voice—even in your dreams.

    Chad King Gets Real: From “Say Something” to Fighting MS and Finding His Voice Again!

    Chad King, one half of the Grammy-winning duo A Great Big World, is stepping into a deeply personal new chapter—and bringing his whole story with him. Known worldwide for the emotional hit “Say Something,” Chad opens up about his long journey living with multiple sclerosis, a diagnosis he’s carried since 2007. Over the years, the condition has impacted his strength, mobility, and even the way he performs, but instead of stepping back, Chad has found new ways to create, adapt, and keep the music alive. In this powerful conversation, Chad shares how his latest solo release “All In Time” is inspired directly by his experience with MS, reshaping not just his sound, but his purpose as an artist. It’s honest, vulnerable, and exactly the kind of real storytelling we love—about resilience, identity, and finding your voice again when everything changes. From global success to personal battles and back to the music, this is a side of Chad King you don’t want to miss.
