Mississippi Arts Hour – Fondren Theatre Workshop
August 17, 2025 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm

This week on the Mississippi Arts Hour, Leslie talks with theatre artists, John and Diana Howell. They are two of the founding members of Fondren Theatre Workshop. Since its inception in 2003, Fondren Theatre Workshop has been committed to being not just a community theater, but a theater community. John and Diana talk about how it all started and some of the most memorable productions throughout the years. To name just a few of those productions – AVENUE Q, THE WINTER’S TALE, ASSASSINS, DINNER WITH FRIENDS, THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, and premieres of many brand-new works. They also fill us in on the upcoming return of the 24-Hour, 10-Minute Play Project.
Tune in to hear their conversation this Sunday, August 17, at p.m. CT on MPB Think radio, or subscribe to the Mississippi Arts Hour podcast through your favorite podcast app.
