Sandi Klein's Conversations with Creative Women

Susan and Pamela Bob

Meet mother/daughter duo Susan and Pamela Bob.  Each in their own right happens to be a very talented actress. Pamela is currently part of the cast of A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, 2014 Tony winner for best musical. Susan, who's had her share of roles on and off-Broadway, was the original Dee in the Pulitzer Prize winning play, No Place to be Somebody. This twosome weighs in on life both off and on stage in this no holds barred conversation.

Rebroadcast - Kate Clinton

Kate Clinton is nothing short of hilarious, in fact, she's been described as the most talented lesbian comedienne ever, but her audience extends well beyond the gay community. Her humor is irreverent, liberating and 'on the money.' In addition to performing, Clinton's worked extensively with social justice and non-profit groups. Here what all the fuss is about in this week's rebroadcast.

Jessica Dermody and Lolita Brinkley - Life Without Parole

Meet Jessica Dermody, producer/director/writer and actress Lolita Brinkley. Their paths have come together in the production of Life Without Parole. The powerful 6-character play is based on the original transcripts and testimonies of inmates at the California Institution for Women at Chino who were convicted of killing their abusive partners. Jessica's the director, Lolita - one of the cast members. Our conversation extends well beyond the play to include their lives on stage, as well as in front of and behind the camera.

Rebecca Parrish
