In Dec. 2023, I performed with Sock & Buskin in Kari Williamson and Nate Schierman’s Behind the Scenes at WBFR and Joe Landry’s It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play. I played Bert in Behind the Scenes and Freddie Filmore in It’s A Wonderful Life.

Williamson and Schierman have written the short prelude piece Behind the Scenes at WBFR to introduce the action in Landry’s play. Bert is the show’s producer, who is panicking because a snow storm has prevented many of the actors from arriving at the studio. He frantically tries to pull together a competent performance to impress the station manager, whose son is one of the actors. When he realizes that the announcer, Freddie Filmore, also hasn’t arrived, Bert is forced to take on that role, which begins and ends Landry’s play.
