JBH on youtube

I just received the following note from the producers of Judah Ben Hur.  I played about five minor roles in the Singapore production, including Pontius Pilate and Simonides.

Now they're hoping to bring it to Broadway.

It has such a phenomenal message!

Please help us increase our hit rate on YouTube...

Dear All,

 

Our musical, Judah Ben-Hur is definitely on the move.  We had a preview a few days ago in Manhattan and are very encouraged. It was the first time our corporate team (Lawyer, Marketing, GM, Press, Producers, etc.) were all together in one place as well as possible investors. We will have more news soon.  For now we wanted to follow up on a suggestion from our Press consultant.  We have clips of Judah Ben-Hur  on  Youtube . 

 

There is the 3-minute version...

There are also two music videos (both are love songs from the show).  Those are.....

 

"I believe in Love" -

"I Remember You"

By going and viewing these videos, you are helping us out a ton.  We can then show possible investors the number of hits we've had to our videos to prove that the public is interested in this.  Also, if you'd like to forward this on to everyone else you know (or think would be interested in it), that would be greatly appreciated. 
Thanks so much!
Art, Ellen & David

That's just like the Lord

Early in the week Timothy Bentch came to me and asked if I could develop a dramatic piece on the theme of embracing the Lord's discipline. Later in the week Pat Kavanaugh, director of the festival called to see if the theatre department had an offering. I had so many details on my mind I'd forgotten to give Timothy's message any real thought, so I asked the students if anyone had anything. Kaelen Zirbel said she did, so I handed my phone to her to give him the details and I went back to the rehearsal. Later I coached Kaelen's piece, which brought in Anna Sewell and Jessica Long. It wasn't until Timothy was well into his sermon that I saw how perfectly their piece fit Timothy's sermon. He thought I'd planned it all along. Of course I gave credit where it was due.

Celebrating a fabulous dress rehearsal!

#1 version

John Kirby and his assistant Nathan Nesbitt are here at MasterWorks now. Nathan said Word of Promise, on which John coached the actors, is now the best selling version of the Bible! John has directed the youth version of the New Testament and acted in the adult version of the Old Testament.

Happy Fourth of July!

It's taken two weeks and an outdoor concert for me to finally have time to post from MasterWorks. We're now half way through and having a great time! The play (Tartuffe) is coming along well and should be a hoot!

Watch http://RichDrama.com for more posts tonight, including the fireworks.
