Studio 2 co-hosts Avi Wolfman-Arent and Cherri Greg sat down with Creative Writing faculty member Lorene Cary and Tony Award-winning actor Trezana Beverly to discuss Ladysitting, premiering at Arden Theatre. The play is based on Cary's memoir about the year she spent taking care of her 101-year-old fiercely independent grandmother, Nana. It’s a story about caregiving, aging, love, anger and forgiveness, and it looks back at five generations of an African American family.
