Controversial monologist Mike Daisey, whose largely made-up piece about Apple’s supply chain in China got him into trouble with the folks at “This American Life,” will be among the featured performers at ArtsEmerson’s just-announced The Next Thing Festival, from Feb. 15-24. The festival of live performance, live-streamed events, screenings, and workshops at the Paramount Center, is the result of a partnership between the Center for Theater Commons at Emerson and New York’s Under the Radar Festival.
