This month, on WEMU-FM 89.1’s Art & Soul segment focused on the performing arts, All Things Considered host Lisa Barry and I talked with Purple Rose Theatre artistic director Guy Sanville and playwright and “Scandal” star Brian Letscher – formerly a U-M football player and EMU assistant coach – about the new play “Smart Love,” which is having its world premiere at the Rose.
