Millions of Americans are documenting this past year of pandemic life in journals, diaries and songs. In Cambridge, some residents gave voice to their experiences in a unique way — capturing this period in their lives in a play produced by the Multicultural Arts Center, “Cambridge: Our Town Our Stories.” Created in the style of Thornton Wilder’s 1938 classic drama, “Our Town,” which explores the fictional experiences of everyday small-town living, Cambridge's version is based on the experiences of residents during a year of global pandemic. No fiction here — theirs are authentic reflections of a scary and uncertain time. Listen to host Callie Crossley interview three such residents about their roles in the play, and their experience over the past year.
Guests:
Ken Field - Cambridge-based saxophonist
Theodora Skeadas - director of small business advocacy for the nonprofit Cambridge Local First
Jeff Robinson - musician and web developer.
