Interview: A conversation with the author, cast & crew of Gimme Shelter

The premier of the new play "Gimme Shelter" by local author Russell Thorburn was delayed because of precautions taken due to the corona virus, but I had a chance to speak with the author, cast a crew in anticipation of a future performance. You'll hear from Thorburn, Tiina Harris, Endla Harris, Chris Leith, Chet DeFonso and Jeremy Morelock.

Although the original premier performance was cancelled, Thorburn says they are looking into setting up a 'live' online performance in the near future.

Hans Ahlström is the host of several programs including the daily musical variety show Weekday, the mostly straight ahead jazz show Night Studio, the self explanatory Blues Today, and the eclectic Sound Spectrum. You can also hear Hans as the local host of NPR's All Things Considered news magazine. He also helps manage Public Radio 90's web content, interviews local and visiting writers and artists, works with NMU student interns, and writes the occasional news story.
