The State of Southern California Theater
Larry talks with the artistic directors of four of Southern California's largest theaters about the state, and future, of theater production in our area. Some of the topics they discuss include: attracting and growing theatrical audiences, choosing a season, balancing new and classic productions, the economics of live theatre, and the relationship between the film and theatre communities in Southern California.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is one of history's greatest basketball players and the NBA's all-time leading scorer. Larry Mantle talks with him about his new book: "On the Shoulders of Giants: My Journey Through the Harlem Renaissance."
George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette
Personal friends and political allies, George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette had one of the most important friendships of the 18th century. In his new book "Adopted Son," historian David Clary argues that although each man was a hero of the American Revolution, it was their partnership that secured American victory. Clary joins Larry Mantle on Presidents' Day to examine "the friendship that saved the revolution."
