Fall 2006 ~ Episode 1 (Oct 17, 2006)
Assignment: Radio kicks off the Fall 2006 Season with a look at upcoming events at the University of Oklahoma. First, Brian Hardzinski talks with several members of OU’s Class of 2010, as well as Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students Clarke Stroud, about how these Sooner Freshmen are adjusting to their first semester of college. Reporter Jeremy Scott talks with an award-winning photographer who recently returned from shooting in the Galapagos Islands, and has an exhibition on display at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History through January 15. The catch? She’s only 14. Kristen Carey takes a look at the Musical Theatre Department’s big production of the semester, Once Upon a Mattress. This hilarious take on the famous Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea”, promises laughs for the whole family. The musical is at 8 p.m. Oct. 20-21 and 27-28 and at 3 p.m. Oct. 22 and 29. To find out more, including ticket information, visit the University Theatre website. And Brian Hardzinski examines noted Oklahoma artist Harold Stevenson’s masterpiece The Great Society, which is on display at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art from now until December 31. The work, completed during a 2-year period in the 1960s, is a series of 100 close-up portraits of citizens of Stevenson’s hometown of Idabel, OK, and hasn’t been shown to the public since it appeared in Paris in 1968.
