In this week’s episode of 365 Amplified, the team dives into the Juneteenth celebrations happening around Dane County and across Wisconsin, previews summer opportunities with the Maydm youth STEM program, and spotlights Madison Night Mares softball team in their second season.
Then, Rob is joined by Anna Gonzalez, Alys Dickerson, and Patty Heaston of American Players Theatre to discuss how the repertory company is expanding access and representation in its programming. The conversation highlights their new contemporary production The Death of Chuck Brown, written and directed by Gavin Lawrence, and a community engagement event hosted at the Black Business Hub. They explore how APT is reaching new audiences through intentional casting, education outreach, and storytelling that resonates across identities and generations.
Plus: a quick preview of Anna in the Tropics, APT’s upcoming first Latino-written mainstage production, and this weekend's Big Gay Market.
