Aired on Thursday, October 13th.

On this edition of our show, we learn about a newly created original musical called "Pryor Rendering," which is being staged from today, the 13th, through Sunday, the 16th, at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center (at 2nd and Cincinnati). Tulsa's American Theatre Company has joined forces with the Oklahoma City Repertory Theatre and the University of Oklahoma to create this work. It's a coming-of-age story about a young boy who struggles with his loneliness, his sexuality, and his father's absence, and it's adapted from a novel by Tulsa native Gary Reed. It's also a play that stars several actors who have appeared on Broadway over the years, and two such performers are our guests today: Stacey Logan and Julie Johnson. You can learn more about "Pryor Rendering" by calling 918-596-7111, or by going to this link.
