Cold War Choir Practice- a talkback with Ro Reddick- A Talkback, signing and live podcast recording.
About the Book
It's twilight in Ronald Reagan's America and the specter of nuclear war hangs over the country -- but rent is still due on the 1st. In Cold War Choir Practice a young girl is embroiled in intrigue when her estranged uncle, a prominent Black conservative, brings his mysteriously ill wife home for the holidays. This darkly comedic play with music is a fugue of Reaganomics, espionage, roller disco, cults... and choir practice.

Knud Adams), co-produced by Page 73 and was later remounted in 2026 (co-produced by the aforementioned and MCC).
