Open Source RVA

OSRVA

On Friday’s installment of Open Source RVA, we present a frank, in-depth interview with former Venture Richmond director Jack Berry about his candidacy for mayor and his vision for Richmond’s future. Berry talks about his plan to address the problem of poverty in the city, how to turn around public schools, his views on the Redskins training camp and Stone Brewing deals, his shepherding of the controversial Shockoe Bottom stadium plan (including those now-controversial emails recently unearthed by the Times-Dispatch’s Ned Oliver), CenterStage funding, Richmond’s high water rates, his contentious relationship with Oregon Hill residents, and how he would grade the administration of Dwight Jones, among many other topics. Also: We present another scene-chewing installment of Curtain Call, our bi-weekly segment on Richmond’s theater world produced by the Richmond Theatre Critics Circle and featuring Sifter’s Jerry Williams, and Style Weeklys Rich Griset and David Timberline.
