It’s our incredible pleasure to announce the upcoming second season of the WORD for WORDcast!
Join us on Thursday, July 22 as we release Season Two’s first episode, “The Appropriation of Cultures” by Percival Everett. It will be available on our website at zspace.org/pod, as well as on Apple Podcast, Spotify, and most other major podcasting services.
This wickedly subversive story is directed by Rami Margron with a talented cast consisting of Cassidy Brown, Artis Fountaine, Safiya Frederick, Gwen Loeb, and David Everett Moore. Renowned jazz artist Marcus Shelby composes original music and the grammy-nominated Elton Bradman provides sound design. A crew of Lindsay Jenkins (Line Producer), and Kelley Ho (Production Assistant), were instrumental in bringing this work to completion.
As of now, Season Two's schedule also includes:
"A Pair of Eyeglasses" by Anna Maria Ortese - directed by Rotimi Agbabiaka - releasing in two parts on August 26 and September 2
"Home" by George Saunders - directed by Sheila Balter - releasing on October 7
"Raymond's Run" and "Blues Ain't No Mockin Bird" by Toni Cade Bambara - directed by Edris Cooper-Anifowoshe - releasing on November 4
We hope that you’ll join us as we continue to bring your favorite short stories from the stage to the airwaves (and smart phones, and home computers…)
