CFR inaugurates its “Theatre” category with a longer show than usual, in which I chat with Trinidadian actor Michael Cherrie, recently of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts, about his craft and career. This episode features monologues from Blue/Orange, Othello, Master Harold and the Boys and The Dragon Can’t Dance, a few of which contain OBSCENE LANGUAGE–you have been warned! Tune in as well to find out why Michael owes me 50% of his earnings.

Happy Birthday, Wendell Manwarren!
