Hi,
I am a theater artist and actor, but have also worked as a producer for the past 11 years on the Emmy award winning HBO series “Taxicab Confessions”. The creators of “Taxicab Confessions”, Joe and Harry Gantz, are starting a new website dedicated to presenting the best in artistic expression in many different artistic mediums. One of the websites we are launching is called “streamoftheater.com”, and it is dedicated to bringing live theater back to the consciousness of the masses and inspiring a new generation of stage lovers. To do this, we will be a forum for performers to showcase their stage productions and allow worldwide access like never before.

This site will not be a "kitchen sink" site where anything is posted, and your work gets lost in a sea of amateurish productions. We are looking for real artistry and passion in the work and a sense of authentic creative expression. Eventually, people will be able to download material from the site and will pay to do that, and a portion of that money will go to the artist. At the moment, we are in the beta stage, so we are not charging anyone to look at the site. We are now accepting submissions for solo and group theater pieces, and performance art from all over the world and would like to extend the invitation to you. Of course, nothing takes the place of really being in a live audience, but I think that if it's shot creatively, people will get re-inspired to see what’s out in the best of local theaters. This is a great opportunity to showcase your work in an online environment of artistic excellence. Submissions can be sent to crushedplanet@viewfilm.com with Theater in the subject line. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to email me directly at felicia@viewfilm.com.

Thanks
Felicia
