“Voicematch”: Great Fun!

Sue and Tim starred as far flung voice over talents Greta and Charlie, plying their trade in these days of ISDN and Internet

Sue Scott and Tim Russell in "Voicematch"

Protocol in playwright Jeffrey Hatcher’s romantic comedy,”Voicematch” last Sunday, February 13th, at the Historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul. They were joined by Prairie Home Companion’s Minnesota sound effects wizard Tom Keith who played the recording engineer offstage. Greta and Charlie work with each other long distance and develop a relationship that’s put to the test at a national voice over convention and award ceremony. A great crowd showed their appreciation at the very funny script crafted by Mr. Hatcher. This was a one time fully produced event flawlessly executed by The Fitzgerald staff of talented stagehands and sound and lighting designers, directed by Sarah Gioia. Our thanks to all who attended, perhaps we will do an extended theater run of the play somewhere down the road.

Harry Smith joins Sue Scott and Tim Russell on PHC

This past weekend Harry Smith of the CBS “Early Morning Show” joined the “Royal Academy Of Radio Acting” for a night. He performed flawlessly in “The Lives of the Cowboys”, even warbling a cowboy tune.  He also negotiated through a script replete with tongue twisters and the word Piscacadawadaquadimoggin.

Why would he subject himself to such treatment? It fulfills an opportunity to check off an item on a “Bucket List” of dream jobs he created for the “Early Morning Show”. His adventure will be told on that CBS show Thursday morning, October 29th.

Harry was a great guest and his film crew and producer Eric couldn’t have been nicer.
