Inside The Arts: Tajah Olson’s Goddesses, RAGTIME, Elephant & Piggie

Tajah Olson as Goddess Eshe

This week on Inside the Arts, bold colors pop on an unusual canvas. We meet Tajah Olson, an African performance artist from Malawi who uses her face as a tarp. She portrays Goddesses from her country and beyond, captured in photographs on view at Angela King Gallery.

Then, Summer Lyric Theatre continues its 51st season with Ragtime. Director Michael McKelvey joins us with actors Leslie Castay and Brandon Nase.

And, Elephant and Piggie's We Are In A Play, continues its run.  Children's author Mo Willems' beloved characters come alive in a production presented by Southern Rep Theatre.  Producer Helen Jaksch joins us with actors VonDerrick Taylor and Shelby Duhe.

Airs Tuesdays at 1:00 p.m., Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m., and Thursdays at 8:45 a.m.
