JFK TAXI by Aurin Squire
Listen now
Description
A jet-lagged Gen Z couple (Toney Goins and Kerry Warren) decides to take an old school taxicab home to Brooklyn instead of an Uber, and their kooky cabbie (Louis Mustillo) introduces them to a very different (under)side of New York City.  Playwright Aurin Squire’s otherworldly urban comedy is a James Stevenson Commission for Short Comedic Plays, generously supported by Josie Merck, and boasts an animated score by composer Tom Kochan. Stay tuned after the play for a spirited conversation, starting at 25:11, with Claudia Catania, Playing on Air’s founder and consulting director, executive director Yvie Jones, director Marchánt Davis, and our talented trio of actors. Editing: Joanna Lynne Staub Sound Design: John Kilgore of John Kilgore Sound & Recording [Running Time: 41 minutes and 29 seconds]
