Theater and writing are the focus of this episode. Actress Lora Lee Escobelli will read an excerpt from the play "Amelia," which is set against the backdrop of the U.S. Civil War, and features local actors. Escobelli and director Jim Milton will discuss the production, which will be performed at the Orpheum Theater in Tannersville the weekend of Aug. 1. Plus, Athens-based writing teacher Jeanne Heiberg explains how her meditation exercises help writers dip deeper. Finally, in an ode to the season, some readings from favorite summer novels and a selection of summer songs to put us in the mood. Produced by Ann Forbes Cooper.
