Who among us hasn’t grappled with building a relationship with our parents?
Matthew Kerns, director of theSt. Lou Fringe festival of performing arts, struggled to bond with a father who was very different from him. Kerns was a gay theater kid; his dad was a stereotypically “manly” man who drove a truck and hunted deer.
In our latest Cut & Paste podcast, we talk with Kerns about how theater helped him better understand his dad and forge a better relationship with him. (You can view a family photo in the slideshow, above.)
