BAM: Thank you so much for meeting with us, Dr. Sheepish. You’re looking great, by the way.
Dr. Shep Sheepish: Oh, shucks.
BAM: Oh dear, I didn’t mean to make you blush!
Dr. Shep Sheepish: Oh, no I’m sorry! It happens so easily for me. It’s a little embaaaa-rrassing.
BAM: That’s really okay. It’s thrilling to have a real expert here in the BAM Rose Cinemas. Can you tell us a little bit more about what you’re looking forward to most in the lineup?
Dr. Shep Sheepish: Ah. Yes. Well, at the risk of jumping the proverbial fence, I’m inclined to say this might just be the best year ever for this festival. And I mean ever! Oh, my, I think I’m getting carried away….what I’m saying is that there is a great variety of programs.
BAM: Anything in particular that intrigues you professionally? I know that you're the best in your field, both literally and figuratively.
Dr. Shep Sheepish: The Little Shop of Horrors Sing-Along should prove very informative as a subject example of puppet/human relations turned a little … well, ram-bunctious. I’m quite shy and don’t usually like to sing in public, plus it’s past my bedtime, but this is such an exciting event that I will be attending.
