Dee Perry is arts and sophistication incarnate: she's the host of 90.3 WCPN®'s weekday (12PM - 1PM) arts magazine, Around Noon; she's a producer of special cultural programs; and she's one heck of an actress, having appeared in several productions at Playhouse Square, Tri-C, CSU, Karamu, and Ensemble Theater - and she is the new host of WVIZ/PBS's Applause. With all that Dee's involved in it's just a wonder that she has any time for her hobbies -- photography and singing (she was on an album and everything!). A born and bred Clevelander, Dee did leave for a little while to work and study in such cities as Atlanta and New York City (yawn) but ultimately decided that Cleveland was just too happenin'.
