Connections: Discussing "The Point!" and how its themes apply to issues in 2019

In the early 1970s, musician and composer Harry Nilsson got high on acid and conceived a show called "The Point!" It’s a rather blunt story about the ways our society excludes and judges people who are different.

A group of local musicians has revived the show for a modern edition, and they talk about the themes that they find prevalent in 2019. Our guests:

  • Katie Morey, musician who plays the king
  • Ben Morey, musician who plays the narrator
  • Kat Schwarz, musician who plays the mom
