Kansas City Actors Radio Theatre

This week KCAT presents a new episode of the talk-and-game show, “Oh My God, Did You Just Say That?!” with host John Rensenhouse and special guests Sidonie Garrett and Walter Coppage. It’s Christmas in July, so listen as Sidonie and Walter talk about their experiences performing “A Christmas Carol” -- and other Christmas-related fun to help you cool off!

Sidonie Garrett has been a presence in the Kansas City theatre scene for many years as an actress, director, and producer. Currently she is the Executive Artistic Director of the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival and directs their summer offerings in Southmoreland Park. As an actress, she has worked at the Coterie, the Kansas City Rep and Kansas City Actors Theatre.

Walter Coppage was one of the original founders of Kansas City Actors Theatre and has been a mainstay of the theatre community here.  He has worked at most every theatre in town and is always featured in the annual production of A Christmas Carol at the Kansas City Rep.  He also works at theatres around the country and most recently filmed episodes of Showtime’s original series The Chi in Chicago.
