“You can just walk beside me.”
Lance and Ray talk with Ryan Gilliam, the artistic director of Downtown Art--a teen theater in the East Village--and one of Ray's mentors. Her production of To Kill a Mockingbird, starring seven teen actresses, opens this weekend. More info here: http://www.downtownart.org/
They talk about the ensemble as a metaphor for community, how Ryan's company evolved into a teen theater, her stint as NY1's New Yorker of the Week, and how she bought a building for a dollar.
Also, a track Ray wrote and recorded for Ryan's birthday, Outtakes of a Sketch That Never Happened Because Lance Was Cracking Up The Whole Time, and Ray and Lance talk about Lance's book making Ray cry, Lance's son turning 1, and what made Ray the performer and person he is today.
