 Cities are defined by their cultures. Those cultures could entail sports, or business, or certainly arts and entertainment. Oklahoma City is thriving in all of these areas. But who makes that all happen?

This Town OKC explores the people behind the cultures. Their origins, their motivations, their challenges, and their dreams.

I’m Rick Allen Lippert. I’ve been in this town for over fifty years with a front row seat to seeing the culture grow from a dusty bus stop on the southern plains to a flourishing destination.

Join me as we meet the folks behind the culture on This Town OKC.2025 Arte Entretenimiento y Artes Escénicas

    S1E08 Billie Thrash
    Jun 10 2025
    Talk about a mainstay in OKC theatre! Billie Thrash came here in the 1970s on a whim and has since graced the stages of many theatre companies as a choreographer, director, and performer. In this podcast, she describes working with Carpenter Square in its inaugural season and choreographing this town's first production of The Rocky Horror Show. Lots of theatre stories here including how, on another whim, she auditioned and was cast in the Papermill Playhouse production of Follies and the thrill of having to get into makeup in the stuck-in-the-tunnel bus. But they made it! Billie also shares how she came to serve on the University of Central Oklahoma musical theatre faculty. While we didn't get into it, her contributions to OKC culture aren't just with theatre; she also served as co-chair for both the New Year's Eve Opening Night celebration and the spring Festival of the Arts for the Arts Council of OKC.

    These days, you hear KGOU-FM general manager Dick Pryor on his weekly "Manager's Minute" along with other features. A long-time broadcast journalist, Dick actually started at KGOU while in college. His career began in sports radio in the 1980s and moved to television news where he spent 25 years at OETA with a stint as a lawyer along the way. He tells his story before we get into the philosophy and purpose of public broadcasting and the value of a major in broadcasting and journalism.

    May 5 2025
    Cacky Poarch has made a name for herself as the executive director of the deadCenter Film Festival - twice. As she retires again after this summer's Festival, she tells her story of growing up in the red dirt, tumbleweed-strewn fields of Quail Creek, performing improv comedy in Aspen, working as a casting director in OKC, and touring the state as Captain Supertooth. And she reminisces on the movie that took dCFF to the next level and how deadCenter Film Icons came about.
