A tour of "Wit" and the wit of "Tour"

This weekend, Middlebury's annual spring monsoon of theater productions begins. Radio Arts Middlebury caught two of the flood's initial waves.

First, we presented a behind-the-scenes preview of Wit, an upcoming play about, among many other things, wit. (Listen)

Then, we heard from Middlebury senior Sheyenne Brown about her original one-woman show, "A Colored Girl’s College Tour." (Listen)

Unfortunately, a rebellious CDR drive in the WRMC control room prevented us from recording the full show this week. However, interested listeners can play the above-mentioned segments from this week's show individually, with the handy media player in the sidebar. All segments are also available for download via the "Past Broadcasts" links in the sidebar.

If you've ever dreamed of the day you would get to appear on Radio Arts Middlebury, your hope has not been in vain! An exciting opportunity awaits anyone who has ever read a book for a Middlebury course (with luck, most Middlebury students qualify).

(Listen to the broadcast version of the following.)

Of all the books you’ve been forced to read for classes at Middlebury, which one has been your favorite, and why? Radio Arts Middlebury wants to know. We are now accepting submissions for a new series entitled Middlebury’s Best Required Reading.

Simply write a short piece -- approximately one double-spaced page -- telling what book you read, what class you read it for, and why you loved it. Then, email your submission to radioartsmiddlebury@gmail.com. With luck, and perhaps a small bribe, you’ll have the chance to read your essay on air, or have it read by someone else, if you prefer.

The Required Reading series will begin as soon as submissions start rolling in. In the meantime, keep reading… as if you had a choice.
