About this listen

Includes Sunny and Blue, a limited theatre mini-series exploring the cast, characters, and creative process behind the play.
In this episode, we sit with actors Smurf Brown and Clarissa Roman to discuss their roles as Nick Ashford and Regan Scott in New Era Theatre’s production Sunny and Blue. Host Zivia Walker also joins the conversation in her role as Valerie Simpson of Motown Records. Together, the discussion examines the responsibility of portraying figures connected to cultural legacy, the collaborative nature of ensemble storytelling, and the demands of bringing music driven history to the stage.
Sunny and Blue is an original play written by Donna Holloway, loosely based on the life of Motown legend Tammi Terrell and told through the memories of her close friend and singing partner, Marvin Gaye.
