"Gloria: A Life" Headlines Emily Mann’s Last Season at the McCarter
Emily Mann is a triple threat: an award-winning playwright known for her “theater of testimony,” a sought-after director, and the artistic director of one of America’s preeminent regional theaters, the McCarter Theatre Center in Princeton, New Jersey. She is stepping down as artistic director after the 2019-2020 season, her 30th at the McCarter. In this special edition of the Jersey Arts Podcast, producer Susan Wallner talks with Mann about her career, her future projects, and her final season, which begins with her play Gloria: A Life starring Mary McDonnell ("Dances with Wolves," "Battlestar Galactica").

Mystery Science Theater 3000’s “Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour” Comes to New Jersey
The Great Cheesy Movie Circus Tour is coming to town. It’s the latest live tour from "Mystery Science Theater 3000," the classic television show in which a spaceship janitor and his homemade robot friends are subjected to a cruel experiment by mad scientists - meaning they are forced to watch the worst movies ever made until they go insane. Creator and original host Joel Hodgson (and company) will be doing two shows at the State Theatre in New Brunswick October 26. He spoke with us earlier this week from the tour bus about the history of the Peabody Award-winning Mystery Science Theater 3000, and about how the unique comedic art form he created continues to connect with audiences more than 30 years after the show premiered on a local TV station in Minneapolis.
