From PSYCHOLOGY TODAY: "Media theorist Marshall McLuhan first coined the concept of a “global village” to describe how electronic media were beginning to collapse time and space, connecting people across the globe as if they were neighbors (McLuhan, 1964). Today, with smartphones in every pocket and 24/7 access to global news through social media, we have realized McLuhan’s prophecy more vividly than ever."

Join me and Fordham Communication and Media Studies Professor Dr. Paul Levinson (publisher) and author Tom Cooper, for some INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION on Dr. Cooper's new book, "WISDOM WEAVERS - THE LIVES AND THOUGHTS OF HAROLD INNIS AND MARSHALL MCLUHAN."

It's a PERFECT for today's world!

From their Press Release: A"Nance" was a stock character in vaudeville who portrayed the stereotypical effeminate "Nancy boy" in comedy bits-traditionally played by a straight man. In The Nance, Chauncey Miles is popular and successful "nance" performer, who is, in fact, gay. As Mayor LaGuardia begins cracking down on the "depravity" of burlesque houses, Chauncey and his fellow performers face the changes to their world with varying degrees of denial and acceptance. Including iconic vaudeville burlesque and vaudeville numbers, the play is as hilarious and entertaining as it is heartbreaking.
JOIN us for some INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION with some of the cast and crew from Elmwood Playhouse's spectacular new production of this most timely play.
