Playtime Radio: 2nd Act Players on Phone Sex, an Opera Review and a Visit to Bangkok

We collaborate with Playtime with Bill Turck and Kerri Kendall and appear on their Sunday afternoon arts radio show occasionally. Playtime broadcasts on WCGO, 1590AM and 95.9FM, each Sunday from 1 to 3pm and streams on Facebook. You can listen to each week’s Playtime here on our site. Here’s host Bill Turck’s description of what you’ll hear on Playtime’s latest edition. Image courtesy 2nd Act Players.

Hour One

In the first hour of your radio home for the arts, Bill's dog learns Portuguese, thanks to Kerri Kendall. What's trending in the arts, culture, movies and games over at Third Coast Review. Every Thursday Julian Ramirez has your Curated Chicago Weekend. We hear from 2nd Act Players. Their hilarious new play, Old Ringers, asks the question, what happens when grandmas turn to phone sex to make ends meet? Storyteller Victoria Reeves and Megan Williamson with art opening news, plus the owners of La Fontanella in the Oakley neighborhood spill the secrets about fine Italian cuisine to magician Al James

Hour Two

Bill's review of Dead Man Walking by the Lyric Opera, with words never before spoken in the history of opera reviews. Bill Paige from Bangkok on a new Renaissance exhibition, a trance music expo, Mumford and Sons and a visit to the Sky Bar in downtown Bangkok. Paige is the author of Everything I know I learned from Rock Stars: Conversations 1975-1995 (Eckhartz Press). Plus the theater report from Lainie Petersen and the next round of your Blame Bill calls. Visit our Facebook page for details on how you can Blame Bill for anything and win prizes.
