WBFO Brief Sept. 3, 2021

If it’s Friday, It’s Theater Talk. Today Anthony Chase and Peter Hall look at the restrictions and staggered start dates that mark this year’s haltingly slow start of the theatre season--- with significantly diverse casts and shorter shows.

Also, hear about plans to bring maybe as many as 300 Afghanis to the Buffalo area. And WBFO’s Marian Hetherly goes in-depth on COVID vaccines and what they mean for pregnant women. Mike Desmond looks at how the old Chevy and American Axle Plant on Delavan Avenue is now home to a manufacturer of electric construction vehicles, and you can hear about partnership talks between Spectrum Health & Human Services, a mental health and addictions counseling provider, and Evergreen Health Services which concentrates on needs of the LGBTQ+ community are working out a partnership- short of a full merger.
