Connie Chung on Her Trailblazing Life, 'The Hills of California' is a Story of Broken Dreams, Amythyst Kiah Previews New Album, How to Costume from an Expert

Trailblazing journalist and television news anchor Connie Chung joins us to discuss her new memoir about her life and career. It's titled Connie: A Memoir.

In the new play "The Hills of California," a group of four sisters are raised by their single mother in northern England to be a singing group like the Andrews sisters. Decades later, three of those sisters gather as their mother lays dying, waiting to see whether their estranged sister will come home from California, where she has moved to pursue a singing career. Playwright Jez Butterworth joins us to discuss the show, which he wrote for his partner Laura Donnelly. Donnelly stars as both the mother and the daughter who lives in California, and joins us alongside Butterworth. "The Hills of California" is running at the Broadhurst Theater through December 22nd.

Singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah is releasing her new album, Still + Bright, on Oct. 25th. Ahead of the release, Kiah, also a member of the supergroup Our Native Daughters, performs a few songs from the forthcoming album for us and discusses her songwriting practice.

With Halloween around the corner, we wanted to ask an expert about the craft that goes into costume making, as well as get some recommendations for fabrics and ideas of what a layperson could make. We'll speak with Associate Costume Designer Amanda Whidden, who has worked on costumes for "Into the Woods" and "Wicked" on Broadway, about her career—and get some tips.
