Bev Makes Friends

by Betsy Rives

Improv Comedy Fiction

Season 1

The Voice and the Novice

To help Bev prepare for her upcoming radio news lady job, famous local radio host, Portia, stops by to share some tips. Cal Callahan, of the Colonel news paper, joins them as Bev's mentee. It turns out a big part of having a face for radio is beauty, obtained through Time Inversion Tablets. Hopefully beauty helps Bev as she and Cal pursue "true" crime podcasting. Guests: Karie Vieira as Portia; and Erica Acebo as Cal

The Rocks and the Hard Place

Saff is back at Bev's for some robe time! But before gossip and games begin, Gaylord P. Stiles (owner of the crystal shop before the dump) stops by with gifts, spells, and a plea for friends. Bev tries hard to build friendship with Gaylord, but Saff is hesitant... a challenge even magic can't fix. Guests: Scottie Rowell as Saff; and Karie Vieira as Gaylord

The Un-aliver and the Lover

Pat and Cat Jacket, of Crime Scene She Wrote fame, visit Bev to promote their 437 different forensic reenactments. These detailed videos not only help students learn to identify clues to solve crimes, but also give Bev a glimpse into the complex balance of reality and pretend in the Jackets' marriage. Guests: Rob Horton as Pat Jacket; and Tiffany Brunner as Cat Jacket

The Dine and the Dash

Bev's new housemate, Francis, stops by to set the record straight and get the recognition he deserves. Too bad he is interrupted by Detective Randy Newman who is on the hunt for an escaped fugitive. Luckily Bev's there to get the facts right... Robert Irwin did win Dancing with the Stars. Guests: Walker McKnight as Francis, and Sydney Van Alstyne as Detective Newman

The Rain and the Dream

Actress Lisa Lenaud’s car breaks down in a storm, and she is left stranded at Bev’s. Luckily Bev and her friend and handyman, Marty McCluster, are gearing up to play in the rain! Who doesn’t love a romcom in a make-believe waterfall (aka a roof leaking into a bucket)? Guests: Brandon Short as Marty McCluster, and Yara Martin as Lisa Lenaud

The Noise and the Songs

Seff Charman and Norman Ochermarch from the Colonel Community Players stop by Bev's to promote their production, "Noise of Songs." While Bev may not be in this production, the Colonel community can look forward to future shows including "Aardvarks" and "St. Louis," which also don't feature Bev. Our apologies to the city of Colonel; this is not a movie theater. Guests: Scottie Rowell as Seff; and Finn Rueffert as Norman

The Party and the Grammy

A visit from Bev's neighbor, Guy, turns into a revolving door of guests. There's singing, wrestling, a fire, the Muppet Show, and a local Grammy! Bev's doing her best, staying alive, and getting famous. This show has everything. Guests: Trevor Hancock as "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Elmo, Coach Coffer, John Cleese, and Kermit the frog; and Clay Butler as Guy and Hugh Jackman.

The Laundry and the Spell

Devin Brendan, of the wash and fold, comes by Bev's just in time. It doesn't look like electrician Stiy Wisely can fix the washing machine, and Bev has a lot of sweatiness in her top that needs to be cleaned! While they sort out the laundry, Devin invites Stiy to join his secret spelling club. Hopefully Stiy lives to the next full moon. Guests: Cozmuh Sylth as Devin Brendan and Austin Leal as Stiy (and Brenda) Wisely

The Daughter and the Tail

One of Bev's daughters, Dede, finally stops by! She's just in time for an important appointment with celebrity IVF specialist, Dr. Goofenschmidt. Bev is looking to have a baby that loves her and she can be proud of, Dede is looking to impress her mom, and Dr. Goofenschmidt really just needs to get his product on ice. Guests: Marietta Mendler as Deborah Karen Diane L'Anderson (Dede) and Joseph Lopez as Dr. Arnold Goofenschmidt

The Detective and the Princess

Private Investigator, Dick White, follows an assignment to Bev's house. He's followed by the British Princess Delia. Can Dick build his confidence and be a detective? Will the princess get married? Will anyone ever know what the X-Files is about? Guests: Brad Lasky as Dick White and Maddie Ruart as Princess Delia
