Recent Radio Programs
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Centennial Radio Project Jack Straw and producer Harriet Baskas partnered to produce a series of short radio pieces about the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. You can read all about it and listen to the first piece in the series at the AYP Centennial Radio Project site.
The Young Playwrights Program The Young Playwrights program and festival is an educational writing program directed by the non-profit organization Southeast Effective Development (SEED) in Seattle's Rainier Valley neighborhood. A professional playwright goes into public middle and high schools in the inner city to teach this form of writing. At the end of the program, a number of student plays are picked for a community performance. Yuko Kodama journeyed through interviews with professional playwrights, educators, and performance directors - not to mention through the halls of Franklin High School - to find out more about this program. What she discovered were the stories about the youth behind the plays and concern by both youth and educators about the diminishing arts programs in the public schools. Yuko's feature was supported by the Association of Independents in Radio and Jack Straw Productions' artist residency programs. It was aired on KBCS FM and Listen Up! Northwest.
