The Lunchbox 2020-07-30: Kirsten Stackhouse (digital artist)

On this show:

  • Time to get too many calories! It’s both Chili Dog Day and Cheesecake Day! But don’t worry, you’ll have people to support you before, during and after: it’s also the International Day of Friendship. Let’s just skip Share A Hug Day this year.
  • Despite the heat, I found a way to connect with Kirsten Stackhouse about her time in residency at the Botanic Garden, where she’s practicing digital art in a very analog place.
  • And a little flashback to a show about another time: I spoke with Cameron Patterson and Allie Jeffrey who performed in STU’s production of Newsies earlier last year.
