In terms of promoting a show, I don't think the issue is so much one  
of using extended footage of an actual performance during it's run  
(which can be a sticky legal issue).  Linda is right, very few people  
beyond the cast and their immediate acquaintances might care to watch  
that anyway.  The more interesting story of any particular show is  
what happens back stage and behind the scenes.  What went into the  
making of this show.  This is what I've based the Call-Back cable and  
on-line theatre documentary series on - reality TV based on community  
theatre productions!  I've been fortunate to be invited to document  
productions at a number of different theatres for Call-Back. I've  
found that interviews with different theatre artists, cast members,  
snippets of numbers or scenes from rehearsals, etc. can really be  
interesting to larger audiences. I've tried to make viewers feel like  
a part of these shows themselves by putting together series of  
episodes they can follow throughout the rehearsal process. This can be  
really effective in generating buzz and interest in shows if the  
episodes are edited in interesting ways and as professionally as  
possible.  And there are no legal restrictions on talking to (non- 
equity) cast and crew, etc.


HAVE A GREAT DAY!
