A show devoted to the happenings in and around the beautifully restored Brownwood Lyric Theatre in downtown Brownwood TX. Built in 1946, the Lyric is now host to plays, musicals, movies and concerts! Our biweekly podcast will primarily shine its light on our Lyric Stage Performers as well as those who make the magic from behind the scenes. Created, hosted & edited by Paul Underwood. Special guest hosts always provide a breath of fresh air as well!
It's our pleasure to welcome 3 unique talents to the Lyric family! Each plays a prominent role in "Clue: The Stage Play", premiering February 19th!
Kandice Harris plays the sanctimonious Mrs. Peacock.
Ryan McCormick plays the mysterious Mr. Boddy.
& Levi Packer plays the egotistical Professor Plum.
I know you'll enjoy these 3 interviews.
And remember to get those tickets to see the hilarious Clue at the Brownwood Lyric Theatre!
Today's show features 2 of the Lyric's finest! Host Valarie Nelson interviews Jonathan Harvey. Both of their theatre resumes are amazing. Here, Val oozes personality and knows just how to get Jonathan to open up. And Jonathan just has that velvety smooth voice that makes you crave more. And his dramatic reading at the end is not to be missed. Look for both of these talents in the Lyric's upcoming stage play Clue. Happy New Year!

"Let's run this puppy." I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. Nancy Jo Humfeld. I did my best to not get my "tang tungled" and maintain "decorum" at all times. At any rate, it's my hope that our conversation will result in many "happy faces".
