‘Talk Radio’ Opens at SHSU

The Sam Houston State University Department of Theatre and Dance’s second installment of Raven Repertory continued Wednesday night with the first of three performances of “Talk Radio” by Eric Bogosian and directed by senior SHSU theater major Marcus Cumby. Performances are also set for 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the University Theatre Center’s Showcase Theater. Tickets are $8 for general admission. Children under the age of 3 will not be admitted because of adult language and content. “Talk Radio” explores the world of Cleveland late-night shock jock radio host Barry Champlain, portrayed by Zach Lewis, right, on the eve of his show receiving national syndication. In one scene, Lewis, who resorts to some wild behavior, gets into a heated discussion with Christina Stroup, who portrays Linda.
