A Butterfly, a Garden, and A (Metaphorical) Evil Spell

It turns out that Federico Garcia Lorca's play, "The Butterfly's Evil Spell," isn't as self-explanatory as it sounds. KSJD's Austin Cope spoke with Desiree Henderson, the play's director, and Jake Heath, the composer of its original score, to find out more about what audiences can expect and what has gone into the Sunflower Theatre Troupe's upcoming production of the piece.

Austin Cope is a former Morning Edition host for KSJD and now produces work on a freelance basis for the station. He grew up in Cortez and hosted a show on KSJD when he was 10 years old. After graduating from Montezuma-Cortez High School in 2010, he lived in Belgium, Ohio, Spain, northern Wyoming, and Himachal Pradesh, India before returning to the Cortez area. He has a degree in Politics from Oberlin College in Ohio.
