Shock jock therapy

For the theater connoisseur the tastiest morsel on The Toledo Reps’ plate is probably the Edgy Rep Reading, a staged reading intended for mature audiences. This year’s iteration, Talk Radio, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated play by Eric Brogosian, will not disapoint. The play follows a controversial radio personality’s last night as a local celebrity before his show goes national. Director Jennifer Rockwood says, “Brogosian has a funhouse of characters … He paints a cynical picture of Americans who call into radio shows.”

For mature audiences. Saturday, October 12. 8pm. $9.75. Toledo Repertoire Theatre, 16 10th St. 419-243-9277. toledorep.org
