S19-20, Repisode 6: The Core - "Do I have a choice?" - a podcast by Berkeley Rep

For this edition of The Core for WHITE NOISE we highlighted selections from our Wednesday Night Speaker Series, in which we interviewed some of the Bay Area's leading thinkers on what they saw in the play.

How does Brandi Wilkens Catanese, a professor of Performance Studies and African American Studies at UC Berkeley, look at playwright Suzan-Lori Parks’ career and where this play falls in it?

What does Pendarvis Harshaw, a journalist at KQED, think about how the characters in this play embody and push up against hipster culture in the Bay Area?

How does Taylor Crumpton, a music, pop culture, and politics writer, look at the gender politics at play in White Noise? And what story does she think the sound design is telling to the audience?

WHITE NOISE runs September 26–November 10 and tickets are available at berkeleyrep.org.
