Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, good morning, and welcome, welcome, welcome.
Speaker 1: It's time for our community connection right here on K one,
Speaker 1: the one you trust, and in the studio today we
Speaker 1: have Joony Virch and Richer birch Riker coming back for
Speaker 1: another bite at the Apple here. It was just a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago we had in here with the
Speaker 1: Harry Potter UH presentation, and now we've got another presentation
Speaker 1: or two or three that we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: at Bartosville High School.
Speaker 2: Joey doing, I'm doing good. Good morning, good morning, Ricker.
Speaker 1: How about you?
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, right, ready to go. That's good.
Speaker 1: Now I understand that we have a nice little play
Speaker 1: coming up here. It's an intimate setting. It's what's it
Speaker 1: called the shadow Box.
Speaker 3: It's called the black Box, and it's the actor's.
Speaker 1: Nightmare, the actor's nightmare. This kind of sounds interesting.
Speaker 2: It is. It's a it's an interesting premise.
Speaker 4: It's it's about a guy who's accountant that gets mistaken
Speaker 4: for an understudy, that shows up to playtime and everybody
Speaker 4: thinks he's supposed to go on and oh, you know
Speaker 4: the lines, though the blocking know what he's supposed to do,
Speaker 4: and it's so while nightmare sounds like a horror, it's
Speaker 4: a it's a comedy.
Speaker 2: It'll be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I think you know something, Micer, This sounds like this
Speaker 1: would be an absolute ball for everybody but that guy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is something else. This is really kind of neat.
Speaker 1: And what will you be doing in this? So you're
Speaker 1: gonna be doing something a little different than you've done
Speaker 1: in the past. You played the st of Harry Potter
Speaker 1: just a few weeks ago, and now what do you got?
Speaker 3: So I am the assistant to the assistant director. So
Speaker 3: I'm there to soak up information and help wherever I can.
Speaker 1: Like a sponge yep, there you go.
Speaker 2: In fact, they call it sometimes.
Speaker 1: Oh they do you earn so fast? Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: And what is the date for this?
Speaker 4: So this is going to be November twenty first and
Speaker 4: twenty third, a Thursday and a Saturday, at seven o'clock.
Speaker 4: And and this is one if you're interested in it,
Speaker 4: tickets are going to go fast. But this is a
Speaker 4: small it's actually the theater classroom. They have curtains that
Speaker 4: go all the way around it, and so it turns
Speaker 4: it into a literal black box. And so it's it's
Speaker 4: small and intimate, so there is limited seating. But tickets
Speaker 4: are five dollars for students, ten dollars for adults. And
Speaker 4: you can get your tickets from let's see Amy Rust at.
Speaker 2: The school during during school hours.
Speaker 4: That's that's the main secretaryat the at the I think
Speaker 4: at the Freshman Center, isn't it the Freshman Fine Arts
Speaker 4: at the five Arts Center. Or you can email miss Roddy.
Speaker 4: She's the director and the teacher and she doesn't sleep.
Speaker 4: That's nice. But her her email is Roddy r O
Speaker 4: D D y A J at bpshok dot org.
Speaker 1: Okay, and we can get those in advance, and of
Speaker 1: course that we can get to rocketed roll And now
Speaker 1: you probably won't get them.
Speaker 4: At the door because they probably will be sold out.
Speaker 4: My best get him in advanced. Yes, you do want
Speaker 4: to reserve ahead of time. I mean that's basically for
Speaker 4: a for a will call you when you email her,
Speaker 4: but you'll have your tickets at the door.
Speaker 2: You can pay at the door. Okay. Options are good.
Speaker 4: Once you once you've sent your once you've sent your
Speaker 4: email in and kind of reserved your spot and got confirmation.
Speaker 4: But uh, but again those those black boxes are really
Speaker 4: fun because you're kind of right close up with the actors.
Speaker 4: You know, they've had they've had times in the past
Speaker 4: where actors have gone out into the interact with the
Speaker 4: audience or or or they did they did singing numbers
Speaker 4: last year, they did a radio play the year before,
Speaker 4: So lots of fun stuff with that.
Speaker 2: And you've been in a couple of those two.
Speaker 1: Now, Riker, I got to ask you, you know, you've
Speaker 1: been so much on the stage here the last year
Speaker 1: in it, or so at BHS. Now going kind of
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, Now, what kind of what kind of
Speaker 1: a mindset do you have going into this? Do you
Speaker 1: have to kind of prepare for it in a different way?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm kind of like normally when I act, I
Speaker 3: like focus on like I'm gonna be on stage, but
Speaker 3: like here, I'm kind of like I'm kind of just
Speaker 3: helping out with the actors with the stuff that's going on.
Speaker 3: So I really don't have to have the same mindset
Speaker 3: because I'm not I'm not preparing I'm preparing them for
Speaker 3: the show.
Speaker 2: I'm not preparing.
Speaker 1: So now with this, this might help you as you
Speaker 1: go back on the stage really kind of understanding what everything,
Speaker 1: how it all comes together. This gives you a pretty
Speaker 1: good picture of the complete product.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might be nicer to the director.
Speaker 1: Come on, we've got a couple of things going on, understood.
Speaker 1: We've got a fundraiser coming up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm wearing a couple different hats because you know,
Speaker 4: I'm just a fan of all these kids and who
Speaker 4: is they do?
Speaker 2: I know, because they do such great things they do.
Speaker 4: So you're a fan too, Yeah, I see you to
Speaker 4: all the performances, but not only you know, not only
Speaker 4: with the theater department, but also the choir department, and
Speaker 4: I'm on the boosters there. And we have a fundraiser
Speaker 4: that's coming up that's going to help support the musical
Speaker 4: in the spring, which I can we can talk about
Speaker 4: as well. But this is Bingo Night and it's going
Speaker 4: to be Saturday, November sixteenth, so it's it's coming up
Speaker 4: pretty quick at the Eagles Lodge. And so they are,
Speaker 4: you know, downtown. They've donated the space and the time
Speaker 4: and their expertise to be able to do this.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they can do it great. They know what's
Speaker 2: going on when it comes to bingo. But they.
Speaker 4: So they've also offered to do this. The tickets pre
Speaker 4: sale are fifteen dollars. They're twenty dollars at the door,
Speaker 4: and that gets you a pack of ten games. So
Speaker 4: all ten games are included, the main games. And it's
Speaker 4: not just ten tickets. It's like a page of tickets,
Speaker 4: you know, a page of page of bingo cards. I
Speaker 4: have trouble keeping up every time I go there. It's
Speaker 4: like you b nine and it's you know, all over
Speaker 4: the place. So so fifteen dollars will get you the
Speaker 4: evening's entertainment. They do some extra games and you can
Speaker 4: pay for you know, mini games while you're there. Those
Speaker 4: are a dollar pop. But those are just pay as
Speaker 4: you go and as you want to. Sometimes you rest
Speaker 4: between games while they do a little minigame. They're having
Speaker 4: a spaghetti dinner beforehand for.
Speaker 2: We got a carb up on that. Yeah, at car loading.
Speaker 2: And that's at five point thirty.
Speaker 4: Starts at seven dollars.
Speaker 2: Six o'clock is a dollar.
Speaker 4: Minigames at seven o'clock is when the regular bingo starts,
Speaker 4: and so you can get there five thirty and kind
Speaker 4: of go kind of go late. What's nice about this
Speaker 4: bingo is all the prizes for the main games it's
Speaker 4: fifty dollars prize for each game. I think the last
Speaker 4: game is a blackout game and that's got a three
Speaker 4: hundred dollars pot to it. So so you can you
Speaker 4: can come out and and I went big on that
Speaker 4: helped the choir help yourself, that's right. And again that's
Speaker 4: gonna help not only with with the musical but but
Speaker 4: also you know some of the other choir things that
Speaker 4: the Boosters take care of throughout the year.
