The Local Show-November 10, 2011

This week, The Local Show discusses the mental health impact of job loss, goes behind the scenes at The Coterie Theatre and touches base with Bob Kendrick about the upcoming Buck O'Neil celebration.

Maureen Reintjes, a longtime area job club facilitator and founder of the Kansas City Metro Networking Job Club, and Dr. Mohsen Amiri, a psychiatrist with the Center of Behavioral Medicine, faculty at UMKC, a private practice, and part-time staff member at the KC Free Health Clinic, sit down with Nick Haines to discuss how the job crisis has taken its toll on job seekers. Randy Mason goes behind the scenes of what Time Magazine describes as “One of the five best theaters for young audiences in the U.S.” And we get a preview of what is on deck for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum from its newest President, Bob Kendrick.
