Richmond Tonight TV Show at the Byrd Theatre

As part of my empty nest syndrome and turning 50 a few weeks ago, I've embarked on another "job" that I wanted to share with each of you.

Richmond Tonight is a television show that will begin broadcasting in the Richmond Tri-Cities and Tidewater areas at the Byrd Theatre. Taping, before a live audience, will take place on Tuesday evenings at 9:30 pm with anticipation of a hard 1 hour taping (hopefully we don't run over too long!). The inaugural taping will occur on Tuesday, March 4th. Please help spread the word about the wonderful opportunity to watch live television at it's best. At the least, it should be interesting to watch the Byrd Theatre morph itself from showing films at 7pm, to becoming a live broadcast in a talk show format .

My own role with Richmond Tonight will be as the Booking Producer. Drawing on a format of "tell something, show something or perform something", I'll be looking around for local, regional and national guests to appear each Tuesday on this show. Feel free to email me if you are interested in being a guest or you know of others who would enjoy the opportunity to appear on live television. I'm also open to suggestions for specific "theme" or seasonal ideas...the crazier the better!

Another happening to mention is our house band. This relaxed group of musicians will entertain the live audience throughout the evening and have a "solo musician" component where talented musicians are invited to sit in with the band each week. This would be a wonderful opportunity for many talented students in our area to play live on television. If this is of interest to anyone you know, please have them email me and we will get them information on how to be featured in the house band.

Thanks for any help in sharing this information to others and I hope to see many of you at the show (or even on the stage)!
