02/05/16: Media Roundtable Week In Review; Water Education Festival; 'Radio Golf'; Jax Dance Theatre

Media Roundtable Week in Review Logo

We discuss the week's top news stories with our roundtable of local journalists: Ron Littlepage, Florida Times-Union columnist; Fred Matthews, Examiner blogger; Claire Goforth, Folio Weekly editor; and Tim Gibbons, Jacksonville Business Journal editor.

Topics include the first of three special Jacksonville City Council meetings on proposed bills to expand the city's human rights ordinance to cover LGBT citizens, the Duval County School Board approving five school boundary changes, and more.

James A Richardson, Environmental Protection Board Administrator with the City of Jacksonville, joins us with a preview of the 2016 Water Education Festival, sponsored by the Jacksonville Environmental Protection Board in partnership with the St. Johns Riverkeeper.

The Douglas Anderson School of the Arts Theatre Department is staging August Wilson's "Radio Golf" at the Ritz Theatre next week. We learn more about the show from director Wayne Bennett and stars Jordan Gregson and Julian Robertson.

And we preview the Jacksonville Dance Theatre's performance of "Duets for Valentine's Day" with artistic director Rebecca Levy and executive director Katie McCaughan.
