Exploring Our Stories. StoryBoard Memphis is a nonprofit multimedia resource for news and feature-length stories on local arts, culture, history, and community. This podcast is a longer cut of the half-hour radio show that airs on Memphis's FM 89.3 WYPL each Sunday evening at 5:30 PM. Taken right out of the pages of StoryBoard Memphis, this show asks Memphians to talk about their passions, their initiatives, or to just talk about what makes Memphis, Memphis.

SB 30 Episode 34: 50 Years of Persistence & Passion at Playhouse on the Square with Executive Producer Michael Detroit
“We all want this place to be a better place. And we have something we can bring some instruction to, guidance to, some exposure to … And how we participate in our community is very important to us. As Playhouse does well the ballet does well, as the ballet does well the opera does well. It pervades throughout. We’re very proud of the fact that we have such a wonderful core group of artists in our city.”
That’s Playhouse on the Square Executive Producer Michael Detroit, talking to host Mark Fleischer about how Playhouse’s 50 years of place in the city helps lift up all of the arts groups with a culture of community and artistry that’s inherently “in the water” in Memphis.
