{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"BIG BROADWAY ENERGY: The Wash at the Studio@620","description":"Host Stephen Riordan is joined by actors Marjorie Joseph and Nadine Young to discuss their upcoming production of The Wash. The play is a collaboration between The Studio@620 and Power Stories Theater in Tampa.\n\nThe Plot: Based on true events from 1881, the play follows a group of Black washerwomen in Atlanta. Tired of receiving inadequate pay—often just spoiled food or barter goods for their hard labor—they organize a revolutionary movement to demand fair compensation.\nThemes: The play highlights themes of sisterhood, the importance of unsung female heroes in history, and the power of ordinary people organizing to effect change.\nThe Production: The cast and host emphasized the collaborative nature of the production, led by executive producing director Erika Sutherland. The rehearsal process was described as fun, efficient, and organic, with a heavy emphasis on building authentic chemistry among the ensemble.\nArtistic Vision: The actors noted that the set design at The Studio at 620 is highly immersive, designed to transport the audience directly into 1881.\nAudience Takeaway: Both guests hope that audiences leave the theater understanding that this history was a reality. They want to inspire viewers to recognize their own power to organize and create positive change in their communities.Event Details\nShow Dates: The Wash opens on October 1st and runs through October 11th.\nVenue: The Studio@620.\nMore Information: Visit www.thestudioat620.o (http://www.thestudioat620.org/) rg","author_name":"Radio St. Pete Podcast Archive","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/1842136-radio-st-pete-podcast-archive","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43856698/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
