“Ilya and her mother flee war via train; a commuter contemplates his imminent firing; a circus act stops among the cornfields of Indiana; runaways sing of locomotives. These loosely knit stories slowly fold together, drawing together good people who seek connections to their pasts, however contingent and fleeting and beautiful. We are all on this one train, together.” That’s a quote taken directly from the website of the Fort Myers-based Ghostbird Theatre Company describing its new play calledEveryone on This Trainwhich will debut on Friday, January 18th at the Southwest Florida Community Foundation’s Collaboratory in downtown Fort Myers. Joining us to discuss this play, from its conception to pending-production, is Ghostbird’s co-founder, and the writer and director and actor-in this show, Jim Brock, who is also a professor of writing, poetry and literature at Florida Gulf Coast University. We're also joined by FGCU biology professor, Dr. Sharon Isern, who is diving into the world of theater with a leading role inEveryone on This Train.
