  Today members of the cast and stage management from Modern Theater's "Other Desert Cities" visited the studio and talked with Verne about their show, which opens this Friday, September 25th at 7:30pm in Spokane and runs until October 12th.  This dramatic play was written by Jon Robin Baitz and was nominated for multiple Tony awards and was a Pulitzer Prize finalist.  Marianne McLaughlin--who plays Silda--and Sarah Miller--who plays Brooke--performed an excerpt from the show, and Jeremy Whittington, the stage manager joined them in talking about the work.  Tickets are on sale now.
