Today's Out and About - Anton Chekov's The Proposal and The Bear - Performed by Inland Classical Theatre!

 

Today on Out and About, we are in for a real treat! Two short plays by Anton Chekov, presented by the wonderful Inland Classical Theatre. Brace yourself for some concentrated and intense entertainment for the 55 minutes of the show. As a bonus, all yours truly will be doing is running the board and making sure that the signal gets to our remote mountain fortress antenna and over the tubes of the interwebs.

The two plays are The Proposal and The Bear. Directing The Proposal is Jeffrey Ridlington and the cast is Sydney Anderson, Jerrod McDougall and Jo Fae. The Bear is directed by Joseph Selle and will feature Casey Garcia, Babe Eyer, and Ali Aboud. This is going to be a lot of fun and I hope you can join us. When someone asks you what you did today, you can reply “Oh I just enjoyed a couple of plays by Chekov performed by the Inland Classical Theatre, how about you?”

Tune into Out and About every Tuesday at 4 pm on KYRS at 88.1 and 92.3 fm. Also streaming at KYRS.org.

Today's Out and About...

 

Today on Out and About, I will be talking with artists from this month’s Terrain Gallery show - Light, Land, Sky. I am not sure which artists will be on the air with me, but it will be some combination of Tim Bovey, Heatherann Woods, Bevie LaBrie and/or Laurie Carlson. This gallery show has received a lot of media attention and I am always stoked to talk to artists about their work.

It’s all upside down: 

Chaos, conflict, corruption - 

Just the new normal.

Yesterday's Out and About - PROOF!

Yesterday on Out and About, I had a fun and rollicking conversation with Jess Loomer, Skyler Moeder and Scott Worley. They were with me to talk about their theatrical production of PROOF. Jess is one of the actors, Skyler is the promoter and Scott directs and produces this very thought-provoking play. Because the story deals with mental heath and people who are intellectually gifted, we had discussions around these issues, as well and a lot of laughs! If you want tickets to the show, here is a link -  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/proof-tickets-1990722899782.
