With over 300 pages of vivid production histories, local and global playwrights’ insights, and even a recipe from “Dinner With Friends,” the book celebrates Alaska’s artistic soul. Self-published after five years of meticulous research, it’s a heartfelt tribute to passion over profit—and proof that art thrives even in tough times. Cyrano’s, now relocated but still thriving, remains Alaska’s beating cultural heart. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
