Show Notes
Local actor Jon Michael Hill has had a busy year.
This spring, he appeared in the Netflix series A Man in Full and starred
in Steppenwolf’s Broadway-bound play, Purpose.
Now he’s back on stage at Steppenwolf in the world premiere, Leroy and Lucy, by playwright Ngozi Anyanwu [N-guh-zee Aye-ahn-woo]. It draws inspiration from the myth of Blues legend Robert Johnson.
WBEZ theater reporter Mike Davis visited Hill at rehearsal and filed this audio postcard.
