My friend Sarah, who I saw Turn of the Century with, sent me a link to this audio feature – as her friend Stephanie Diaz is featured in it. To my delight, E. Faye Butler is featured, too.

It’s kind of ironic that we’re doing this piece at Court Theatre at a time when we’re going through a lot of change in this country in 2008. I think it’s something that’s inspirational. . .I’m really looking forward to it. I’m having a great time in rehearsal, and I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy Caroline, or Change. On the south side, in Hyde Park. Where Barack Obama lives.

This just in: Butler wins the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best Musical in a Revue (Ella). Watch her acceptance speech.
