Listen in, as three Midd student actors read recent work from NER, animating stories and poems through vocal performances.
Hosted by Megan Job, episode three focuses on two new works that use form and language to illustrate the contemporary condition—interruption, cross-pollination, frustration, and maybe even a little rage.
