A Preview of LOOK Musical Theatre's Season

Eric Gibson, artistic director of LOOK Musical Theatre, is the guest on this edition of StudioTulsa. LOOK is an anchor for the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust's annual Summerstage Festival (which happens each June and July). This year, the company will present three highly regarded musicals, Jule Styne and Stephen Sondheim's classic "Gypsy," Sondheim and comedy writer Larry Gelbart's "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," and the bawdy and irreverent --- yet also "Sesame Street"-like --- "Avenue Q." Gibson previews these three upcoming productions, which will get underway on Friday night (the 15th) with "Gypsy." Also on today's show, never mind about "Dallas" --- Ian Shoales, our pop culture commentator, is wondering why a new version of TV's "The Munsters" is now in the works.

Rich Fisher passed through KWGS about thirty years ago, and just never left. Today, he is the general manager of Public Radio Tulsa, and the host of KWGS’s public affairs program, StudioTulsa, which celebrated its twentieth anniversary in August 2012 . As host of StudioTulsa, Rich has conducted roughly four thousand long-form interviews with local, national, and international figures in the arts, humanities, sciences, and government. Very few interviews have gone smoothly. Despite this, he has been honored for his work by several organizations including the Governor's Arts Award for Media by the State Arts Council, a Harwelden Award from the Arts & Humanities Council of Tulsa, and was named one of the “99 Great Things About Oklahoma” in 2000 by Oklahoma Today magazine.
