On today’s edition of Bring It On!, hosts, Clarence Boone and Liz Mitchell, spend the hour with Bo Peterson. Bo Petersen has been a successful professional actor, theatre director, dialogue coach, and voice-over artist for the past 45 
years. Her experience is rich and varied. She has appeared on stage, television, radio, and film. While working as a dialogue coach, she was fortunate to work with the great, late Sydney Poitier and Michael Caine. She is a South African, living in the USA.
This Tuesday, April 16th at 7 p.m. on the IU campus, in the Great Hall of the Hutton Honors College, Bo Petersen performs her one-woman play, which explores her family’s. She unveils her father’s hidden life during apartheid. This play delves into the complexities of identity and the impact of historical injustices. More than a play, it’s a powerful exploration of transgenerational trauma and a call to break free from silence. Bo believes in theatre’s power to heal across generations. “Pieces of Me” is a catalyst for change, an ode to resilience, and a beacon of hope for a South Africa grappling with its tumultuous history.
At the midpoint of the program, we also take time to remember Nelson Mandela by airing the speech he made upon his release from prison in which he called for the end of apartheid.
