CAST

David Greusel

Known throughout more than two states for his dead-on impersonations of Garrison Keillor, Al Gore and Leon Redbone, David is pleased to be in his (cough)teenth season with Right Between the Ears. Still reluctant to give up the day job at HOK Sport + Venue + Event, the world leader in public assembly facilities design, David travels to exotic locales like Dubuque, Iowa and Dodge City, Kansas designing convention and events centers when he's not cracking up onstage with his beloved fellow Between-ers. Normally reserved and even a bit shy, David lives in suburban anonymity in Overland Park with his wife Theresa and his three favorite children.

John Jessup

Beginning a second decade as a cast member of this wacky radio experiment, John Jessup also marks another milestone -- 40 years since stumbling into radio via a college speech class and finding the dream career: say words, get check. That the culmination of this career would involve mooing, barking, shrieking, burping hairballs and portraying bigwigs, lowlifes and other jokeworthy creatures didn¹t seem likely back then. Nonetheless, John¹s mighty glad it turned out that way. Thanks to Jonathan Winters for inspiration.

Andi Meyer

This just in…Andi Meyer, (known to her friends and accomplices as "Andi Meyer") is returning for yet another season of RBTE. Reports say that she is still in residence with wonder cat Mr. Friendly. She has recently been seen in the presence of another cat said to be young, easily agitated, and carrying dangerous weapons. Andi has been known to frequent grocery stores late at night perusing the frozen foods and singing Joni Mitchell songs. If you should see Andi, take no action yourself but contact the Bureau For Sightings Of Asian People In The Mid-West, or the BFSOAPITMW. Andi has been seen onstage at the Unicorn Theatre, Theatre for Young America, The Missouri Repertory Theatre, the Heart of America Shakespeare Festival, and The New Theatre Restaurant. Return to top

Kip Niven

In over 30 years as a professional actor, Kansas City native (and KU Alum) Kip Niven has appeared on Broadway, off-Broadway, in regional theatres and summer stock, as well as in feature films, on network television, and in numerous commercials. As a young actor, Kip dreamed of tackling the challenging roles of theatrical literature -- Hamlet, Richard III, Henry Higgins, and Willy Loman. Thirty-three years later, he takes great pride and joy in getting together with several of his best friends at RBTE to make rude noises and talk in silly voices--all the while making grown people laugh 'til they hurt. Kip's wife, Beth, and nine-year-old daughter, Maggie, must be very patient and understanding. Return to top

Roberta Solomon

When Roberta Solomon was a kid, her mother found her in the basement, making noises into a tape recorder, with a metal trash can on her head. "I'm doing a radio play," she said. "This is the monster!" Shades of things to come. Roberta's now "the voice" of radio and TV stations worldwide, including HBO/Asia, Boston's famed WGBH and 3C Digital in Glasgow, Scotland. She narrates documentaries for Discovery, ESPN and PBS and is heard on scores of commercials (for booking info, visit her Voicegal website). Before joining the cast of Right Between the Ears, Roberta earned her fifteen minutes of fame as the TV horror goddess Crematia Mortem and ruined her sleep hosting a long-running morning radio show. In her spare time, she sings in a band, putters in her garden and makes noises in the basement with a metal trash can on her head. Return to top

Rick Tamblyn

Rick Tamblyn started doing strange voices as a child when his parents let him listen to their old radio theatre albums.

He has also hosted a game show for the Missouri Lottery for over 6 years and recently added college professor to his resume, teaching a Radio/Television Performance class at UMKC.

Teri Wilder

When Teri's Rorschach test results revealed that her underlying nature was "sublime lunacy", laced with an intense need for outbursts of laughter and a penchant for hidden agendas, she knew she'd be right at home in Right Between The Ears. Known to the others in her head as "Super Sybil", she takes on gigs to feed her nature. Like co-hosting the Morning Show on KCFX-FM, 101 The Fox. The Sprint PCS Voicemail Lady. Voicing ommercials,
training films, museum displays. Performing her own songs on her self-titled CD, which you can order at her website. Singing at local churches, Quality Hill Playhouse, and weddings. This one's for you, Dad, from all of me! Return to top
