SUMMARY:The Business of SC Independent Production
DESCRIPTION:Veterans from the international production industry will gather on Saturday\, June 13th\, at 2pm for a lively\, informative panel discussion on the evolving global film and TV market\, focusing on a holistic approach to helping more independent South Carolina projects get off the ground and become financially viable. \nIt will take place at Simons Recital Hall in The Simons Center @ The College of Charleston (54 St. Philip Street\, Charleston\, SC). \nThe conversation will be framed with South Carolina production projects and production companies as small businesses\, the filmed story as the product\, audiences as customers\, and digital storefronts as additional strategies for revenue and distribution. \nThe program is part of on-going efforts by the South Carolina Film Commission and Trident Technical College to provide support for the manufacturing and distribution of South Carolina film and television projects. It will also be a networking opportunity for South Carolina production entrepreneurs and professionals.  \nThe panel is free but a simple registration is required. Please register here: \nRepresenting key areas for successful independent production\, the panelists are: \nJosh Foster (Producer)\nJoshua Foster\, native of Spartanburg\, SC\, is a writer/director/producer who works as an executive for Cinetic Media in the company’s film finance and production department.

SUMMARY:Diverse cast takes on “A Funny Thing…”
DESCRIPTION:by Chloe Hogan – Charleston City Paper   \nStephen Sondheim’s musical romp through Rome\, “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” has desperate lovers\, scheming neighbors and secrets behind every toga. \nThis comedic gem revitalizes the roots of comedy by melding the timeless scenarios of Roman playwright Plautus with the vibrant spirit of vaudeville\, said one of the show’s key actors\, Maddie Castro.  \nThe standalone production at Queen Street Playhouse\, on stage Aug. 2 – 4\, is produced by Linda Eisen\, a Charleston-based director and the owner of Coastal Talent agency. \nEisen worked with actor Castro (of local theater company Shortwave Kitsch) to put together an inclusive cast\, bringing together professional actors and new performers in one show. The funny play was cast with inclusivity in mind\, Castro said\, “This is a show that celebrates all genders\, races\, sexuality\, body type and ability.” \nIt’s supported by the SC Arts commission’s “Arts for All” grant which allowed the production team to gift tickets through community partners — We Are Family\, HEART\, and the College of Charleston Department of Theatre and Dance — Castro said\, “So those folks can experience live theater and see themselves celebrated and represented on stage.” \n\nBut Castro emphasized just because the show is inclusive doesn’t mean it’s amateur. \n“We have seasoned professional actors that are on stage and a really talented production team. But Linda really wanted to also include adults from HEART\, and to cast this show gender and color blind… Seeing representation on stage was her big drive for doing this\, and this is a really great\, fun\, joyful show for it.”  \n\nThe show will offer a full on-stage orchestra\, directed by Ryan Pagels\, the producer of Charleston Classical Pride\, a queer-focused classical music event held for the first time during this year’s Piccolo Spoleto.  \nThe “Funny Thing” cast also includes older actors\, some of whom haven’t been on the stage in a while\, Castro added\, “Linda’s brought a lot of them out of retirement. A lot of people are excited to see them on stage.” \nThere’s only 5 chances to catch the show at Queen Street Playhouse this weekend: 7:30 p.m.\, Aug. 2; 3:00 and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 3; and 3:00 and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 4. Find tickets starting at $30 on eventbrite.  \nFo 501c3 organizations working with underserved populations\, please reach out to funnythingchs@gmail.com to request complimentary tickets. \nDiverse cast takes on “A Funny Thing…”
