This week, we're talking with Newt Holt. He's the author and director of the new play, "Imprimatur," which runs next weekend at Eureka College. Set during World War II, the play tells the story of two cartoonists who go to work in the Office of War Information, and discover unpleasant truths about their own country.
Holt talks about an earlier play, which he staged last year, and what he learned from that experience. He also talks about his dual roles as writer and director, and about the rewards of seeing his work brought to life by a company of actors.
"Imprimatur" will be performed next Wednesday through Sunday -- November 7 to 11 -- in the Pritchard Theatre at Eureka College.
