Tichenor is an actor, director, and playwright, most notably with the Reduced Shakespeare Company, for whom he's written eight stage comedies, reducing American history, the Bible, all the great books, and the complete world of sports. He devoted an episode of his popular RSC podcast to his friend Chris Stevens last fall -- you can listen to it here.
