In our 3rd consecutive episode of the month, we honor Black History Month with a look at the Unsung Stars of The Public Theater community.  This episode had support from members of the Black History Month committee.  This episode contains two feature interviews with two Public Theater Unsung Stars, Costume Designer and Project Runway Alum, Emilio Sosa and Stage Manager, Professor, Facilitator and more, Narda E. Alcorn.  We touched on their careers and projects, how they came to their current professions and their hopes for the future of Black Theatre.
