I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change – Summer 2012

These are some stills from a production from the inaugural season of Western Playhouse, Missouri Western’s new summer professional theatre company. This show was a ton of fun to work

Tee had managed to put together an incredibly professional audio show.Â I spent a few years in radio and had a jaded opinion on produced shows; everything sounded like it wanted to be on NPR but hadn't yet made the cut.Â Inexplicable Dumb Show, however, was entirely different.Â The show focused primarily on theatre; professional, amateur, and community theatre all had a voice and a home there.Â Tee's editing and production kept the show tight and focused, but never let the format sound forced or hurried.Â That, in and of itself, is a marvel.Â He kept a steady stream of relevant and prestigious guests on the mic, one of whom was a redhead from Alabama named SARAH LENA BROWN. You never know how a guest spot on a show is going to go.Â You have no idea of the pace and rhythm of the usual gang, you don't know if your flavor of humor will mesh with the show, and you don't know if your dog will suddenly go nuts because a squirrel appeared outside while you were trying to tape the episode via Skype.Â Didn't matter.Â Although I was new, Tee and John crafted an environment that was comfortable to me; they adapted to my humor and nudged me in a better direction if I took a conversation off course.Â And although my dog went into something of a vocal seizure mid-episode, the final cut had no evidence that I was anywhere BUT in the studio with them. The final version was something I was incredibly proud of.. I was proud to be a part of it and I was amazed at Tee's skills in this medium.
