The Human Ounce, world-premiere #66, opened Central Works’ 30th anniversary season in 2020, but closed mid-run, just days before the Covid-19 shelter-in-place order.  The script was then adapted into an audio production.  This is the opening scene between 2 museum curators (Champagne Hughes as Jory and Kimberly Ridgeway as Biz) as they consider whether unsavory news about a long dead artist is reason to “cancel” his artwork.
