Double R Productions is working with The Cultural Alliance of Greater Washington (CAGW) and Arlington Independent Media (AIM) to produce a new television show called The Arts Show & Tell. The program will be a half-hour show with two segments in each episode. The first show will air April 5th at 7:00 pm, on AIM and will showcase the Kathy Harty Gray Dance Theatre and the Washington Bach Consort. The second episode will feature The Textile Museum and Jane Franklin Dance Company, with both of these segments produced by Double R. "Community television is a great way for arts organizations to reach a wider audience," says Eileen Rappoport, Cultural Alliance Deputy Director and developer of the show.

Double R Productions and Arlington Independent Media produced the two segments for the pilot episode. The first segment, by Double R, features the Kathy Harty Gray Dance Theatre, which is dedicated to preserving, advancing and sharing classic American Modern Dance. AIM produced the second segment for the Washington Bach Consort, which is Washington's premier Baroque chorus and orchestra.

Double R's Rosemary Reed oversees the entire process and makes sure things go smoothly. Cheryl Ryan (staff producer in training), writes, shoots and edits the segments, with the help of intern production assistants, Colette Baldwin, Hanna Hargrave, Jennifer Lane, Chelsea LeMar, Andrea Seeley and Nicole Zwick, who assisted on location as well as in the editing room for each segment.

"This really is a win-win situation for everyone involved. It is great experience for the Double R team and the CAGW gets a wonderful product to help complete their mission of increased support and resources for arts and culture," stated Rosemary Reed.

Double R Productions is a full service film, television and media production company in Washington, DC. Projects include original programming, public service announcements, video news releases, commercials, non-broadcast productions for corporate/non-profit organizations and government agencies.
