Listen "S1E08 Billie Thrash"
Episode Synopsis
Talk about a mainstay in OKC theatre! Billie Thrash came here in the 1970s on a whim and has since graced the stages of many theatre companies as a choreographer, director, and performer. In this podcast, she describes working with Carpenter Square in its inaugural season and choreographing this town's first production of The Rocky Horror Show. Lots of theatre stories here including how, on another whim, she auditioned and was cast in the Papermill Playhouse production of Follies and the thrill of having to get into makeup in the stuck-in-the-tunnel bus. But they made it! Billie also shares how she came to serve on the University of Central Oklahoma musical theatre faculty. While we didn't get into it, her contributions to OKC culture aren't just with theatre; she also served as co-chair for both the New Year's Eve Opening Night celebration and the spring Festival of the Arts for the Arts Council of OKC. Post-production by Fred O. BishopSponsored by Carpenter Square Theatre
