Reach/ Akiva David's innovative and inspirational weekly radio program, Divine Imagination, that airs on Fridays (3:00AM-5:00AM) on WPRB (Princeton, NJ) 103.3 FM (streaming live on www.wprb.com) will be airing a special extended edition, entitled Theatrical Creativity, this Friday, October 25, 2013. This Theatrical Creativity edition of Divine Imagination will take listeners on an incredible journey through poignant musical recordings to help them understand the directorial process in creating a theatrical space to engage an audience's imagination and in ensuring a memorable theatrical experience.

Tony Award Winning Director, Mary Zimmerman, joins DJ Akiva David for an engaging interview about her directing career in theater and opera, her collaborations with Philip Glass, her role as a pioneering female theatre director, her work with Disney on the musical, Jungle Book, and her production of White Snake at McCarter in Princeton.

White Snake, written and directed by Zimmerman, showcases her unique directorial sensibility in creating a multi-sensory experience with visuals, sounds and literary themes. White Snake is currently playing at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, NJ through November 3, 2013.

According to DJ Akiva David,

"Unlike previous editions of Divine Imagination, this Theatrical Creativity edition is very dear to my heart as an avid theater and opera fan. My own familiarity with Mary's work over the past decade, in both theater and opera, gave me a deep appreciation for her creative process that made for an effective interview. Plus, she was so gracious and generous to grant us this interview and to grant our listening audience access to the rarified world of directorial creativity. Her incredible stories and insights are a must-listen to anyone who contemplates a career in theater, or has any Curiosity about any type of live performance."
