Greetings Tenth Voice listeners. We are so excited to announce that over the next several weeks we will be introducing new hosts and new voices to the Tenth Voice family. This week we are proud to announce the debut of Show People with your host Michael Grayman-Parkhurst.

Since then theatre has taken him around the country and around the world. He moved to Kansas City in 2010 to form Spinning Tree Theatre with his husband Andrew Grayman-Parkhurst and has served as Artistic Director for nine seasons. Andrew and Michael are proud Daddies to 3 ½ year old Sammy.

We will feature interviews, music and lively talk about all things performing arts and how they relate to the LGBTQ+ community. Show People will air every 3rd Saturday at 1pm.
