Working Theater/Workers Unite! Film Festival

This week's show:  ”Something is fundamentally broken when you can only go see a Broadway show if your family takes in $300K a year…These are symptoms of an American theater which is not working,” says COLM SUMMERS, Artistic Director at Working Theater in New York City, one of the only theater companies in the country that’s dedicated to creating theater specifically for, about and with working people.
“So you can make film on your phone now…and what that ends up doing is sometimes we don't have the most polished end product, but we have an end product that has lots of power and emotion in it. It's right from the heart. It's the truth of what actually is happening on the ground, which is even more important,” says ANDREW TILSON, Director of the Workers Unite! Film Festival, which is launching its’ 13th season next week.

Broadcast on October 10, 2024 on WPFW 89.3FM in Washington, DC.
Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant; produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
