My seventh guest is a longtime friend of mine, Joe Tantalo. He is the Artistic Director and Director of the Godlight Theater Company. One of the things that make the company so unique is its mission statement of bringing new and old books to the stage by creating original adaptations of modern classical literature from the 20th and 21st centuries. In its history, the company has received 10 Drama Desk nominations, as well as a Special Drama Desk Award. Joe and I were able to discuss our beginnings at SCSU and the productions he has directed such as "Wait Until Dark," "Poor Superman," "A Clockwork Orange," "Fahrenheit 451," "Blindness," "In the Heat of the Night," "One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest," "The Pilo Family Circus,: Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five" and "Cool Hand Luke."
