Frida Kahlo was a master of self portraits. Her uncompromising oil paintings, always deeply personal, dealt with identity, the human body and death. It wasn’t until after her own death that she was regarded as a revolutionary artist. In hindsight, it’s easy to see how The Two Fridas can be reconciled into one extraordinary woman.

Today we speak with Taylor Tash a New Your City author and playwright who’s been writing since he could hold a pen.  Years later, after moving to New York City, he's written interactive/immersive theatre  with the company,  Accomplice, and Taylor's Off Broadway musical, Night Tide, which is a retake of the 1961 B-Thriller movie, was called a “Top Notch Musical” by Dave Roberts along with a good number of positive reviews.  Our Interview with Taylor explores his creative process, which harkens ideas and character’s from Russian history and we learn how Taylor struggled with the process and how he handles his muse. Ultimately Taylor found the perfect day job which allows him to grab that string and fly his Kite, even outside of New Your City.  Namely, just outside of Chicago in Hammond, IN, at the Towle Theater,as Night Tide is scheduled to be on the stage in summer 2021 (COVID-willing).
