Award-winning editor Bridget LeRoy and Oscar-nominated screenwriter Alec Sokolow were prom dates back in 1981. Now these Hamptons denizens host conversations with others on the East End of Long Island who cast their own interesting shadows. Whether it's famed artist/activist April Gornik, astrologers Amy Zerner and Monte Farber, actress Julie Andrews, musicians like G.E. Smith and Sophie B. Hawkins, the focus is always on the creative process, and what sparks passion and joy in their lives. On 88.3 WLIW FM, Long Island's only NPR station, every Sunday at 4 PM.

WLIW | Guest Amanda Green | 03/21/2021

This week, we chat with our old buddy, East Hampton resident and Broadway composer/cabaret artiste Amanda Green. She is the recipient of the 2013 Frederic Loewe Award from the The Dramatists Guild of America (with collaborator Trey Anastasio of Phish) for her music for "Hands On A Hardbody" (lyricist; co-composer). She's been nominated for a Tony Award, three Drama Desk Awards, and an Outer Critics Circle Award, including a nod for her lyrics (with Lin-Manuel Miranda) for "Bring It On."

We talk about the difference between writing pop/country and writing for the stage, her incredible Broadway/Hollywood upbringing (daughter of Adolph Green and Phyllis Newman), and her upcoming projects -- plus laughs and a few surprises.
