The Shakespearean Shrew

The Shakespearean Shrew

This podcast is going to be a decorum-be-damned entrance into understanding Shakespeare’s stages (for there are many) and all the players on it. We will be delving into the ever-pressing question: Why Shakespeare? Or, sometimes: Why, Shakespeare?!

A One Man Actor’s Carol With David Weber: A Social Enema

The Shakespearean Shrew ·

2025/11/12

Join David Weber, friend, clown, professor, director, and amazing human, and the Shrew as we talk about not only the stages of a play but the stages of recovery in terms of sobriety and surgery. What does it take to heal? What does it take to push past our own boundaries? Can we even push the boundaries when we are in debt to our jobs, to the economy, and socially indebted? What happens to our communities when the clown cannot afford to push back? We will discuss the inherent discomfort that is part

2025/11/05

Are you an author? Do you want to be? Listen up for tips and how to find a writer community as we talk with Charles Martin about his new book and the foundation and future of Literati Press.

Oklahoma City has become a bookstore oasis for book lovers with many independent bookstores each with an identity of its very own. And now, we can boast the first bookstore in the state that is

Brotherly…Love: The Lion in Winter

The Shakespearean Shrew ·

2025/10/08

Keeping it all in the family, yeah, always a creepy aspect of royal families, but how does a fraternal relationship off stage impact a familial relationship on stage? Is the competition real, an act, or something in between? How do actors find camaraderie and community in spite of, or perhaps because of, the fierce competition for roles? Find out in this episode as we sit down to talk with fan (and shrew) favorite Justin Marlow, and bright, shiny, and new faces to OSP and seniors at OU, Ethan Walker

Two husband and wife duos in a row! This episode we talk to actor Tiffany Tuggle and Wil Rogers, actor and writer of MacDeath. (Yes, those are their real names - I asked.)

So, let’s see what it looks like when you “screw your courage to the

Women Gone Wild: The Secretaries

2025/08/27

When we think “women gone wild,” we tend to think of wet t-shirt contests. That is not these women. These women (and one man, sorry, Caylor Peterson - they love you and spoke of your glory) have gone off the beaten track (this play is being performed in Yellow Dog Coffee Company), co-produced by three individuals, directed as a company, and are performing a play that pushes the boundaries of actors and audience alike. In this episode, Laura Burguete, Anna Halza, Hannah Haddad, Katy Kendall, and

In this episode we will be talking to Alleese Eldridge and Paxton Kliewer about the challenges and rewards of teaching OSP’s summer camp, what theater does for us as actors and audience, the importance of play, and how yo-yos are the ultimate Brooklyn ice-breaker.

For so long we have lauded the relationship of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth as the healthiest relationship amidst an an unhealthy plot, but Lady Fenton and Anne Page topple the Macbeths in Merry Wives of Windsor and OSP shows that, in Windsor (as should be everywhere), everyone gets a seat at the table. Join me as I talk with Kit Rasmussen in his debut role as Lady Fenton (yes, you read that correctly) and Bell Reeves, a very familiar face and voice in this podcast, in her role as Anne Page as we talk

**This is a fun and raucous interview so choose your volume accordingly! For this episode we are going to talk size - no, not that kind of size - though there will be some talk of “eggplant emojis” in this episode. I mean the size of the role versus the impact of the part. Join us as we talk with Jimmy Pike, Denton Meehan, and Lucas Schrantz who are well-versed in playing many parts (sometimes within one play or even a single scene!).

Merry Wives: Women Rule and Boys Muck it Up

Join Lance Marsh as John Falstaff, and our Merry Wives - Lindsey Rollins as Mistress Ford and Denise Hughes as Mistress Page - as we discuss why this play is under performed and the big characters (emphasis on big - like fat suit big), big ideas, and big personalities that make this play a BIG deal.

How do you play yourself while playing another actor while playing characters across Shakespeare’s 37 plays? Let’s find out! Join me as I talk with Kris Kuss, M. Smith Fraser, and Holly McNatt as we discuss how these actors survive this fast paced, high energy, whirlwind of a play, The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged) (Revised) (Again).

We’ll learn about “the satanic panic” and how RPG has been brought out of the dungeon/basement and into the light - enhancing empathy and understanding our history through fantasy. Is RPG a new kind of improv? With the game master cast as the director, they shape the experience and allow their players agency. What do we do with the
