"Here Lies Love" We focus on the new show "Here Lies Love," at The Public Theater. Our guests are co-composer/lyricist David Byrne (previously of Talking Heads) along with actors Jose Llana and Ruthie Ann Miles who play Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos in this dazzling techno-disco musical about the rise and fall of the notorious Filipino dictator and his super-star first lady. Also "Requiem 2014," a tribute to three of our recently-deceased guests, actress Ruby Dee, Arthur Gelb of The New York Times and drama critic Jacques le Sourd, featuring highlights from their interviews on Theater Talk.

Theater Talk is a series devoted to the world of the stage. It began on New York television in 1993 and is co-hosted by Michael Riedel (Broadway columnist for the New York Post) and series producer Susan Haskins.

The program is one of the few independent productions on PBS and now airs weekly on Thirteen/WNET in New York and WGBH in Boston. Now, CUNY TV offers New York City viewers additional opportunities to catch each week's show. (Of course, Theater Talk is no stranger to CUNY TV, since the show is taped here each week before its first airing on Thirteen/WNET.)

The series is produced by Theater Talk Productions, a not-for-profit corporation and is funded by contributions from private foundations and individuals, as well as The New York State Council on the Arts.
