WTF with Claire Robin

“Nun? Slut? It’s a spectrum. We’re all on it.” This showdescription is what hooked me into seeing Claire Robin’s “Nun Slut.” And after seeing it, I am a true fan. Claire shares how her spirituality and faith in God led her to create this holy yet controversial piece. And we talk about WTF she did to become a fringe sensation with her debut solo show.   Keep up with Claire on IG @clairerobin.nunslut   Find What the Fringe?!

This week, we visit with Marcel Cole, who has embraced this model to help him build his own “Marcel Cole Catalog of Plays.” Marcel is the creator of the multi-award-winning show “SMILE: The Story of Charlie Chaplin,” amongst others.
