In Episode 3 of the Anything Mentionable podcast, Tim Madigan’s guest is Harry Parker, a longtime professor in the theatre department of Texas Christian University, and an accomplished director of more than 100 stage productions around the nation. Several years ago, after reading Tim’s memoir, I’m Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers, Harry had the idea that the story of the unlikely friendship between Tim and the icon of children’s television would make a great play. As it turned out, Harry was right. He and Tim collaborated on the script for the play, I’m Proud of You, that made its world premiere in the fall of 2023 at Circle Theatre in Fort Worth. After three other successful productions around the nation, the play returns to the Metroplex at Theatre Arlington, beginning August 8. As he did for the Circle premiere, Harry will also direct the latest production. In this conversation, Harry and Tim recount how the play came to be, give insights into the latest production, and speak of how the story about friendship, wisdom, kindness and hope is an important one for this difficult moment in history. –For tickets to I’m Proud of You at Theatre Arlington: https://bit.ly/45mQkaITo purchase Tim’s memoir, I’m Proud of You: My Friendship with Fred Rogers: https://amzn.to/32rhXim
