Kari Williamson and Nate Schierman’s Behind the Scenes at WBFR and Joe Landry’s It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, with Sock & Buskin Theatre Company.

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.

Becket Spams Counterstrike

In the spring of 2015, I played Hamm in the West Virginia University Center for Literary Computing performance Beckett Spams Counterstrike, in which we performed Samuel Beckett’s Endgame in the video game Counterstrike: GO. The performance involved both typing the dialogue into the chat boxes and saying the lines aloud in our performance space, jumping into new individual fights as one came to an end until we had finished the play.
