THE QUEEN OF FOURTEENTH STREET by Barrie Kreinik, read by Barrie Kreinik, Orlagh Cassidy, Imani Jade Powers, Elisabeth Rodgers, James Fouhey

Behind the Mic with AudioFile Magazine

A talented cast of voice actors, including playwright Barrie Kreinik, dazzles in this audio original. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss the story of Eva Le Gallienne, a queer actor and director who founded The Civic Repertory Theatre in 1926. Her work revolutionized theater, but she struggled to keep her creation going in the Depression. Kreinik is stunning as Eva, capturing her larger-than-life personality, while the remaining actors portray her various girlfriends, company actors, mentors, friends, and others. The production’s impeccable sound design brings 1930s New York to life. This is audio theater at its absolute best.
