Musical Theatre Heritage "Gypsy" interview with Steve Kraske

A preview of Musical Theater Heritage's production of Gypsy. Theater director George Harter and actress Vanessa Severo tell us about their staging of the show and the life of writer Arthur Laurents, who died last week. Laurents wrote the book for Gypsy and West Side Story

Also this hour - In his first four months of office, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback has consolidated state agencies, cut budgets, and reshaped government in the Sunflower State. On Tuesday, after an earlier attempt to replace the Kansas Arts Commission with a private non-profit, Governor Brownback eliminated funding for the state agency. In the first portion of today's program, political scientists Burdett Loomis of the University of Kansas, Bob Beatty of Washburn University, and Joseph Aistrup of Kansas State University talk with Steve Kraske about the Governor's first 16 weeks in the Kansas State capitol building.
