Midday Metro starts after the 10 a.m. news

A legislative update with KCPW's Elizabeth Ziegler.

 

Staying safe in the backcountry with Bruce Tremper of the Utah Avalanche Center and Ian McCammon of Snowpit Technologies. They'll be part of a Science in Society panel on Snow, Cold, Brain: Choices Thursday at the City Library. 

 

Countless black women would rather attend church naked than hatless. Midday Metro talks about it with playwright Regina Taylor, who tackles the subject in her play CROWNS. It premieres in Utah later this week.

 

There are several events that coincide with the theatrical run of CROWNS in Utah:

Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats, running through Feb. 29, at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, 1355 W. 3100 S., WVC. M-T, 8a-6p; free and open to the public.

Utah's local Crowns photo exhibit runs through Feb. 9 in the Grand Theatre Lobby at Salt Lake Community College, 1575 S. State Street. M-F, 10a-6p; free and open to the public. 

A $400 million, state-of-the-art film production campus is taking shape in Southern Utah. Will it be Sundance South? Midday Metro talks with screenwriter Craig Clyde about Sky of Dreams Ranch.
