Comedy is fast-paced on KANU
By Carmen Phelps Special to the Kansan
Satire and slapstick comedy combine to make a winning formula for "Imagination Workshop," a regular production of KANU-FM, the University of Kansas" public radio station.
Judy Keller, development director of "Imagination Workshop", said the show had established itself as a competitive production.
The first show of the fall semester will be at 8 p.m. Sept. 12 and eight, one-hour shows are planned through April. Most of the other radio stations receive a taped version of the show so they can broadcast it whenever they choose.

"CPB gave us $25,000 to market the production, to make it more professional," he said. The grant also financed a live show every six weeks and helped pay the actors.
Performed live at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St., this fast-paced comedy series features a variety of witty sketches, commercial spoofs and satirical songs. The program, now in its 10th season, is broadcast by more than 50 stations nationwide.
"Our goal is to have every public radio station air the show," she said. "We have stations in L.A., Boston, Alaska — almost one in every state." The seven performers of the combination of stage and film actors and Kansas City radio and TVpersonalities: Rick唐lyn, Roberta Solomon, Margi Posten, Paul Friedman, Gene Carr, Paul Meier and David Greusel.
Meil Peier, associate professor of theater and film, is one of the show's writers and cast members.
"We do a lot of political humor," he said. "We have a pretty mixed audience."
The show received Gold Program Awards as Best Live Entertainment Show in both 1990 and 1991 from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. It also won second place at the International Radio Festival in New York those same years, with a British Broadcasting Company program winning first place.
Meier said some of the success of the show was due to a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
