Cherry Jones and More Set for MADE HERE Documentaries
by BWW News Desk - Mar 13, 2013
Made Here is a unique documentary series and interactive website focusing on the lives of performing artists based in New York City. A collage of intimate interviews, performances and behind-the-scenes footage, the project mirrors the rich diversity of the city's artists, those who support them, and the communities they serve. By featuring artists and arts professionals in their own words, the series aims to increase the visibility of performing artists, fill a void of television programming about the field, and inspire the next generation of artists. The success of the series thus far has made it possible to attract even more established names for the upcoming seasons. Since its launch in 2010, the official website has garnered approximately 36,000 visitors, 20,000 of whom are unique visitors, from more than 77 countries. In May 2011, NYC Life (the official public television station of the City of New York) began to broadcast episodes. As of June 2012, Made Here is distributed on Hulu (http://www.hulu.com/made-here) and other aggregators by TenduTV. (more...)

by BWW
News Desk - Feb 23, 2013

The show, starring the singular Taylor Mac as Shen Tei, is directed by Lear deBessonet and features original live music by 'indie rock vaudevillians' (SPIN) César Alvarez and The Lisps. (more...)
