Show XLVII

Show XLVII of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed at MadLab theatre in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel, Nick Arganbright, Samantha Stark, and Shane Stefanchik, and directed by Kristin Green.

Subtitled *IABD Roulette*, it was modeled after host theatre MadLab's annual shorts festival, Theatre Roulette, which takes place every May. Instead of the typical four segments with three commercials between them, it consisted of ten shorts averaging around eight

minutes each. Some featured leads from segments and commercials, while others were new characters who exist within the same universes. Each was listed as an episode of a segment or commercial to establish where it fits in the larger story structure.

One segment was entirely pre-recorded, other than the narrator lines, and guest starred Adam Pranaka and Benjamin Ahr Harrison, hosts of the *Star Trek* podcasts *The Greatest Generation* and *The Greatest Discovery* on the Maximum Fun network. Cast member Chase McCants, who was on a six-month hiatus, also pre-recorded lines for the same short.

Another segment featured new music composed by Nathan Haley with lyrics by Nick Arganbright.

A trailer was released for this show.
