Show XXI

Show XXI of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, March 11th, 2017 at 5:30PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel, Nick Arganbright, Amanda Iman, and Addie Peelle, and directed by Nick.

While Nick had co-written a segment the previous month, this was the first time he (as well anyone other than Jerome) wrote an episode of a series. Nick's script was so long that it was broken into two parts, with both performed in the same month. To date, this is the only time two episodes of the same segment have occurred in the same monthly performance (not counting IABD Roulette). Nick also wrote *The Topnotch Tangler* and *Splunk* commercial.

Additionally, Amanda and Addie had pitched a new commercial segment, improv-ing a sample episode. Jerome used much of their improv in the initial ad, so they have co-writing credit for the first *IABDPR*.

The role of Zee was written for Colleen Dunne. She was not asked to audition for it.

The entire cast, including guest stars, were in *The Scary Dead*, and there was no one left to make zombie noises. The audience was asked to provide this noise themselves.

This month saw the penultimate episode of *The Scary Dead*, but due to cast availability, two major roles, Steven and Karyn, had substitute performers. Katelyn Hamilton's absence was unplanned. Besides Karyn, she would also have played Allison in *Georgie's Jabs,* the host also being played by a substitute performer this month. The commercial was not rescheduled when Nathan Haley became unavailable, which occurred after the script was written but before the cast list went out, because it already had been once before.

Kristin Green was considered a troupe member for the first time in this live show, having guest starred three times previously, as well as assisting with music. She was made Music Director, too.
