- KCRF Series: Bawdily Harm with Cliff Lawson and Emily BrattinBawdily Harm is the three-person fighting group found on the Three Lions Stage at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. Their act features sword fighting, flaming torch fighting, comedy, innuendo, and a lot of audience interaction. The three performers are Cliff Lawson, Emily Brattin, and Nick Marion, all Kansas City Renaissance Festival veterans. Though they make light of it in the interview, what they do requires a massive amount of rehearsal and experience. Cliff is a nationally recognized fight choreographer, and Nick Marion has been a competition fencer. You are guaranteed to have a good time and help be part of the show, when you attend one of their performances at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival.Watch Bawdily Harm in The Jolly Rogers Virtual Renaissance Festival Show found here: https://youtu.be/C0UmSj0L9UoFind Bawdily Harm contact information here:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Bawdily.HarmListen to the audio Platte River Bard Podcast at www.platteriverbard.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

The Lofte Community Theatre in Manley, Nebraska is giving the community a free virtual Christmas play in these unprecedented times. We talk with the cast of the show, the Artistic Director, and the playwrights, Kat and Will Cover.
The Artistic Director, Kevin Colbert, chose to work with local playwrights for this production, and the result is a heartwarming Christmas story about a couple who have lost the Christmas spirit, and is in jeopardy of losing a connection with each other.
The production will be released this week, so be sure to visit the Lofte's website and Facebook page for more information.
