Lucy Bohnsack, host of the Friday Afternoon Show every first Friday of the month, takes on the Wednesday Afternoon Show this week and brings us a conversation with performer and playwright Lauren Weedman, who will be coming to the Park Theater in Hudson, NY on July 25th with her solo show "When the Titanic Sank They Still Played Music."

Beyond her film and TV work (HACKS/ABBOTT/LOOKING/LITTLE HOURS) Lauren Weedman is an Award-winning performer and playwright behind 12 solo shows including Homecoming, Bust, and The People’s Republic of Portland. Her work has been featured off Broadway and across the U.S., earning honors such as a MacDowell Fellowship and “Best of the Arts” awards.

Lucy Bohnsack is an artist and professional photographer, but over the course of her life she’s also been a forklift driver, tour guide, factory bottling line operator, seamstress, fabric designer, writer of technical instructions, tractor parts salesman, lead cashier at Claire’s Etc, and now host of the "Friday Afternoon Show" on the first Friday of every month. She lives in Catskill, NY with her husband and two children.
