Director Maynard Villers and actors Darlene McCarty, Bob Nelson, and Steven Schneidmiller of Spokane Stage Left Theater came to the studio to discuss their newest production: “The Controversy of Valladolid.” This play focuses on the shocking sixteenth-century debates over the “humanity” of millions of American natives that occurred an ocean away, in a Spanish monastery.

Performances will be at 7:30 PM on January 11 & 12 and 2 PM on January 13, with more showtimes each weekend through January 27.
