On-stage is where many artists tell stories through performance.
Proscenium promotes all aspects of any show to help increase ticket sales and spread important, socially-relevant messages.
They are the end result of the talent and hard work of all of the professionals the audience doesnt see. I want to eventually promote actors looking for exposure, expression and income.
Basically, producers bring the money and talent while directors manage both. Egos can cause fights, but harmony makes magic. My goal is to talk to directors and producers about their work on current shows.
I've written a few scripts but I want to write and produce a bunch more. From teleplays to the book, I know my way around CELTX. But I also want to promote creatives trying to get their shows on a stage.
A good crew make can make a stage seem like life and put an audience in awe of the seamlessness of their work. Proscenium applauds crews and will take every opportunity to help them shine.
The gaze of the casting director can be relentless and unblinking. Amazing ensembles like the Big Bang Theory show how casting directors must understand human chemistry to create something greater than its parts.
The famous saying is, "If you can't speak it, sing it. And if you can't sing it, dance it." Dance is the ultimate expression of human passion on-stage and I want to talk the owners and coaches of so many dancing feet.
Thinking of a Broadway show likely makes you think of the music. Rent, Hamilton, Book of Mormon, Come from Away, Company; composers work their magic and we remember it for life. How do they do it?
Organized, able to anticipate the boss's needs and finally, knowing when and when not to talk, TA's are the unsung heroes and sheroes of backstage. Between uneaten sandwiches, I want to talk to them about their work.
Proscenium, as part of Don Merrill Associates helps promote people onstage, onscreen and behind the scenes.
