Specific proposal for transitioning New York theatre to worldwide audiences

FACT: New York City is one of the most fascinating places in the world: cultural diversity, renowned theatre, famous places like Little Italy, the Village, Chinatown, Broadway, Central park, interesting cafes and places to eat. And best of all, it is the heart and soul of theatre in the USA. And that does not mean only Broadway. It means all the theatres and groups, including the 99 seat theatres, the store front theatres. We want to give our audience the opportunity to experience a virtual night at the theatre, each week, from every aspect, from the neighborhood, the history of the theatre, the play, and even going back stage after the performance to talk to the actors. It’s a night in New York.

It’s called . . . . . . . “A Night at the Theatre with host Tierza Scaccia” Tierza is a very experienced host and actor and a New Yorker. Every second week she can have a guest co-host and New York icon: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joe Namath, Nathan Lane.

The show opens up with a rousing famous theatre song (maybe a Cohan, or Gershwin, or Webber tune) with SHOTS beginning with the New York skyline, followed by shots of Broadway, the Village, Central Park, Little Italy, etc. We hear the voiceover: “From New York City, the theatre hub of the world - Welcome to a night at the theatre with your host Tierza Scaccia!”

Tierza is standing in front of the theatre. She describes the neighborhood, the history of the theatre, and the play, its cast and some anecdotes. Then we go into the theatre, sit and watch the performance. After the performance, Tierza goes back stage, talks to the actors, and maybe tours the theatre. Maybe it is the Gene Frankel Theatre in Lower Manhattan. And maybe the new comedy play is “You can Dance with any Gorilla as long as you go ape Over me,” or “My Smart TV Under the Christmas Tree” or an experimental gem.

To experience a virtual night in New York City and see a real play, I would pay to see this as well as millions. Anyone can check out Tierza Scaccia on Youtube. She does it all.

Excellent idea for a subscription based television show – I think.

I am not associated with Tierza in any way. I have just seen her work as a host and performer. She projects well in front of the camera.

Haven't we already had a less specific proposal from you? And haven't we already minced it to oblivion?

Oh sweetheart, Eli Wallach is dead.

Just...stop.

I'll host it. Whatever you're offering Tierza Scaccia, I'll take half of that, along with whatever email you are using to somehow contact Eli Wallach with.
