Storytelling: Confessions Of A Dangerous Deer With Megan Rippey
Actor/dancer/writer/performer Megan Rippey discusses pole dancing, skinny dipping, tipping etiquette and leporidae reproductive cycles. That’s right. It’s one of the sexy episodes.
We sat down with actor/dancer/writer/performer Megan Rippey as she was in the process of moving her solo show Deer Woman from the showcase stage of The Whitefire Theatre to The Fringe Festival circuit. Having gotten the nuts-n-bolts perspective of directing the show from Valerie Hager, we were thrilled for the chance to find out how the play was written and, of course, which parts were true, which were lensed truth and which were fabricated. The story of the origins of Deer Woman turns out to be one that spans her entire life (up until now at least). Along the way, we get into her work as an exotic dancer, her time as a student earning her MFA and the ingredients that had to come together to make Deer Woman possible. As always, thank you for listening!

Burlesque: Vixen DeVille Kills The Geordie Accent
Fire eating. Glass walking. Stage magic. Burlesque. Vixen DeVille does all these things and talks about them on this episode. To be clear, she is a fire eating, glass walking, stage magicking burlesque performer. So, you know. Listen.
Vixen has always existed on the fringe. From an early childhood tragedy through the awkward high school years, there wasn’t a script that seemed to fit Vixen proper. That is, until she discovered the world theatre. That’s when the stage magic, fire eating, glass walking and burlesque kicked off. Then the European tour and then the trip to America and then... Well, that would be telling wouldn’t it? If you’re keen to know the full story, push that play button, why-doncha!
