Friday, November 9th, 2007Today on RadioWest, we’re profiling a stage production. We could probably come right out and tell you the title, but it includes words that are difficult to say or print. They’re offensive words, packed with the history and baggage of racial discrimination. Three men are touring Utah this month with their theater piece – N*W*C, and they join Doug to talk about the language of race.
* You can still catch N*W*C on Utah stages:Thursday, November 8 at 7:30 p.m. at Ogden Peery’s Egyptian Theatre. For tickets and details, call 801-395-3227 or click here
* Next week on Saturday, November 17th, the three-man show will be on stage at The Eccles Center in Park City. It begins at 7:30 p.m., and for more information, you can call 435-655-3114 or click here
