Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rose Datoc Dall's Expressions of Jesus
Q: Where did you go to college to study these things?
She studied at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU Arts) in Richmond, Virginia, which is well known on the East Coast and less so on the West.
The Art Tour: How to Make a New Musical
Q: What have you learned about the business side of writing a show through this journey?
Kyle shares lessons about treating a musical like a startup, the importance of investors and mentors, and the shift from waiting for permission to actively assembling a team and funding to mount a production.
The Art Tour: How to Make a New Musical
Q: First up, I can imagine that you've been dreaming of having a show in New York for a long time. Does this go back to childhood?
Kyle explains his early performance experiences, discovering a love for songwriting in high school, and how BYU and later studies shaped his path toward writing musicals, culminating in a long-haul pursuit that brought The Art Tour to New York after many stages of development.
Mauli Bonner: Everything’s Going to Be Okay
Q: How did your family background shape your career and your focus on these stories?
Growing up in a large, competitive musical family and being raised in both Black culture and LDS faith created a foundation for expressing identity through art. It also instilled a sense of purpose to tell stories that illuminate history and faith in a way that others can see themselves in.
Mauli Bonner: Everything’s Going to Be Okay
Q: What has been the reception to your work inside and outside the church?
I was cautious at first, fearing backlash from both sides, but the responses have been overwhelmingly positive, with church leaders expressing support and affection for the project, which has been deeply meaningful to me.
