Episode 49: "Group," the writer, director, and actors

June 13, 2017 by Julie Harris Oliver in Comedy, Diversity, entertainment, hollywood, immigration, LGBT, Politics, women, PTSD

Group is a play that explores people participating in group therapy for sufferers of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).  I was joined by (pictured left to right) Marjorie Lewit, the director (who we met on Stronger than Pretty), Lesley Gouger, the writer,  Barbera Howard and Jasmine Pierre, both actors.  It was such a joy to spend time with this group.  We had a real talk about some real things.  We laughed a lot, we cried a little, and they were fearless in sharing with me.

The play opens this Friday, June 16th, at the Avery Schreiber Playhouse in North Hollywood. Click here to find out more and buy tickets: http://www.defiancetheatrecompany.com. I will be there, and I hope to see you, too.
