Morning Edition Host
Tom Parkinson
Radio Actor Sue Scott Is a Woman of Many Voices
Scott comes to Blossom Music Center Saturday for a live raido broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion.
Friday, June 20, 2008

When Garrison Keillor brings A Prairie Home Companion to the Blossom Music Center Saturday, the audience will see something once commonplace but now rare: a radio variety show performed live. And some may be surprised to find that the show's acting company consists only of Keillor, a sound-effects man and two actors. The acting company needs so few actors because they play so many roles during the show and even play multiple roles within the same skit. WKSU recently spoke with one of those actors, Sue Scott, about how she is able to change roles so smoothly.
