Sue Scott plays Shelly on “The Cleveland Show”

Sue was very pleased last week to be booked to voice a character role on the prime time animated TV series, “The Cleveland Show“, which airs Sunday nights on FOX TV.  This show is a spin off of the popular animated series, “Family Guy” and was created by the same folks (Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and Richard Appel).  In this upcoming episode, “Your Show of Shows”,  Sue plays the role of Shelly.  Shelly and her husband Harv have their own cable access show entitled, “Picking on Raccoons with Harv and Shelly”.  It’s a quick scene,  filled with lots of blood curdling screams and a not so happy ending… so in other words, tons of fun to do!

Sue and Tim fleshed out the script with the help of Prairie Home Companion writer Laura Buchholz.

The concept of performing a theater piece in a bar or café setting came from “Thirst Theater” , which performs short original work by Twin Cities playwrights and professional actors in the midst of a bar/café. “First Impressions” was a great deal of fun for us as we were able to work in over 50 celebrity impressions plus some APHC favorites like “Barb and Jim” and Dr. Judith Flexnor.
