"Get The Word Out" is the working title for a community focused performing arts production. The goal of the show will be to promote emerging talent in the San Francisco Bay Area. The primary focus will be performing arts but other talent may also be featured.
"Get The Word Out" will be made up of 3 elements:
1. A live showcase of emerging talent in the Bay Area. This showcase will be a 60 - 90 minute show that will feature 3 main acts along with shorter spots featuring smaller acts. Each group will be interviewed and given the opportunity to perform. In some cases, prerecorded segments will also be featured in order to show more of the back story behind the act. The showcase will take place in live stage setting.
2. A 30 minute TV broadcast will be produced showing the highlights of the showcase. This broadcast will be put on local cable stations.
3. 3 minute clips will be produced and made available in YouTube (and other appropriate websites).
A key to the show will be a well rehearsed host who will provide a narrative thread through each episode. The host will be chosen based on ability to engage an audience and to interact with performers.
The goal will be to put on 3 shows in a 4 month period.

Streets Filled With Talent Performance Group
These are some thoughts on forming a group of performers similar to the groups I've put together in the past and then more recently with Marisa and her friends.
The idea would be to form a group of 6-12 performers. The initial project would be a stage production that would include music, dance, possibly instruments and some dramatic elements. The show would be similar to the show I did with Modern Harmony at the Garvey theater.
Once we've performed the show the next step would be to take elements of that production (probably mostly the musical elements) and put together a touring show that could be taken to local festivals, etc.
The performers would all be Marisa's age. It would be nice to have a mix of boys and girls but an all girls group might also work. We would need to come up with some kind of an audition process to come up with the group.
Ideally the kids would also be included in creating the show.
Team members that would be good to have: choreographer, vocal coach, tech person . . .

Streets Filled With Talent Web Show
Streets Filled With Talent Live Talent Showcase
This show will be a 1 hour showcase of local, new, interesting talent. Each episode will present 3 different acts. Each act will be interviewed by a host and given the chance to perform. The program will be recorded as a live Video production that will be uploaded to the web as a full show and smaller clips. The full show will be shown on local Television.
The purpose of the show is to give exciting new talent a chance to get in front of a live, TV and Internet audience. There will also be the opportunity for shorter clips and/or acts that will be mixed into the show.
Music videos can also be produced.
Key will be to get a good host who can both be entertaining and also able to conduct interesting interviews.
Initial crew will be simple:
Format:
-one hour show
-MC does intro (3 minutes?)
-3 guests (individuals or bands/groups)
-Act performs 10-15 minutes
-Act is interviewed before and/or after performance
-Other short bits (possibly pre-recorded) can be included
-Video will be recorded as short pieces that can be uploaded to the web and also produced as a full TV show (perhaps a 30 minute edit)
Initial plan would be to do three shows over 3-6 months
Location: Either coffee shop or some kind of small theater/studio
An other possible source of revenue would be admission.
