THEATER LOVERS.
TALENTED PERFORMERS BRINGING THE
BIG STAGE TO LIFE IN

00:00:06.439 --> 00:00:12.779
INDIANAPOLIS.
THE NON-PROFIT ARTS ORGANIZATION
DISCOVERING BROADWAY IS WORKING
WITH PRODUCERS AND DIRECTORS TO

00:00:12.779 --> 00:00:19.552
GIVE CENTRAL INDIANA A BEHIND
THE SCENES LOOK AT BROADWAY IN
THE MAKING.

INAUGURAL SEASON AND THERE ARE
LOTS OF HOOSIERS INVOLVED WITH
THIS ENDEAVOR, INCLUDING CARMEL
NATIVE BALL STATE GRAD AND

5
00:00:28.428 --> 00:00:34.534
DISCOVERING BROADWAY FOUNDER AND
CEO JOE KIRK WHO JOINS US NOW.
WELCOME TO THE SHOW, JOEL.
>> THANK YOU, GLAD TO BE HERE.

6
00:00:34.534 --> 00:00:42.642
>> THIS IS REALLY A VERY
INTERESTING CONCEPT, REALLY
GIVING CENTRAL INDIANA A PEEK
BEHIND THE CURTAIN AT HOW A

7
00:00:42.642 --> 00:00:49.349
BROADWAY SHOW COMES TOGETHER.
TALK ABOUT DISCOVERING BROADWAY,
YOUR IDEA, WHY -- FIRST OF ALL
WHY YOU CAME UP WITH THE IDEA IN

8
00:00:49.349 --> 00:00:55.321
THE FIRST PLACE.
>> WELL, MOST PEOPLE AREN'T
AWARE THAT MUSICALS DON'T COME
FULLY FORMED FROM THE NORTH

9
00:00:55.321 --> 00:01:03.730
POLE.
IT TAKES YEARS AND YEARS OF
REALLY EXCITING TRIAL AND ERROR,
AND WE DO THAT IN CROWDED,

10
00:01:03.730 --> 00:01:09.502
EXPENSIVE REHEARSAL STUDIOS IN
NEW YORK, AND IT WAS SIMPLE, IT
WAS JUST THE QUESTION, DO WE
HAVE DO IT THAT WAY AND IS THERE

11
00:01:09.502 --> 00:01:16.543
A BETTER WAY OF DOING IT, AND
CAN WE MOVE THAT TO A FIRST
CLASS COMMUNITY, WHERE PEOPLE
ARE KIND AND SUPPORTIVE AND YOU

12
00:01:16.543 --> 00:01:22.215
JUST HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL
HOSPITALITY AND THAT'S REALLY
ONE OF THE MANY THINGS THAT
INDIANA IS EXCEPTIONAL AT.

13
00:01:22.215 --> 00:01:31.191
SO STARTING IN A PLACE LIKE
INDIANA, WHICH ALWAYS GETS THE
BROADWAY TOURS, SO MAKING THE
BROADWAY BEGINNINGS WHERE

14
00:01:31.191 --> 00:01:36.896
BROADWAY USUALLY ENDS, THAT WAS
EXCITING TO ME, AND BRINGING IT
BACK TO MY OWN COMMUNITY.
SO WE HOST THE CREATIVE

15
00:01:36.896 --> 00:01:43.670
COMMUNITY TEAMS AND CASTS OF
THREE BROADWAY SHOWS AND THEY
DEVELOPED THE SHOW HERE AND THEN
PREMIER SONGS IN CONCERT TO

16
00:01:43.670 --> 00:01:47.707
HOOSIERS.
>> YOU'VE BEEN BUSY.
I THINK YOU'RE ON YOUR FINAL
SHOW OF HAMLET, THE PRODUCTION.

17
00:01:47.707 --> 00:01:58.451
TALK ABOUT THE PRODUCTIONS.
HOW BUSY YOU'VE BEEN.
BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN VERY BUSY.
>> IN FEBRUARY, IN MAY WE HOSTED

18
00:01:58.451 --> 00:02:04.557
FOREVER AFTER AND TOMORROW WE
PREMIER THE MUSIC FROM HAMLET.
SO LIKE YOU SAID, SIX MONTHS,
THREE SHOWS, AND IT'S BEEN

19
00:02:04.557 --> 00:02:12.765
INCREDIBLY REWARDING.
THERE'S 36 ARTISTS INVOLVED IN
HAMLET, AND THEY'RE ALL
PERFORMING IN THE HER SAL SPACE

20
00:02:12.765 --> 00:02:18.471
BEHIND ME SO WE'RE ROCKING AND
ROLLING.
>> WHAT I THINK IS INTERESTING
IS WHAT YOU CREATED THERE,

21
00:02:18.471 --> 00:02:25.445
DISCOVERING BROADWAY AS PART OF
A LARGER ARTS AND CULTURAL
COMMUNITY IN CENTRAL INDIANA,
AND IN OUR STATE, AND THAT HAS A

22
00:02:25.445 --> 00:02:31.484
DIRECT CONNECTION TO QUALITY OF
PLACE AND QUALITY OF LIFE AND
THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT AND KEEP
TALENT AND BUSINESS AND ALL

23
00:02:31.484 --> 00:02:36.289
THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.
SO YOU'RE A PART OF THAT.
I KNOW THE CORPORATE COMMUNITY
IS STEPPING UP.

24
00:02:36.289 --> 00:02:42.829
YOU JUST LANDED A BIG
SPONSORSHIP.
>> YEAH, I'M PROUD TO ANNOUNCE
THAT OUR LARGEST CORPORATE

25
00:02:42.829 --> 00:02:48.868
SPONSORSHIP TO DATE IS ALLIED
SOLUTIONS.
THEY WILL BE COMING IN TO
SPONSOR NOT JUST ONE, TWO OR

26
00:02:48.868 --> 00:03:01.981
THROO THRTHREE BUT FOUR OF OUR E
FIRST ONE BEING HAMLET.
PAR PPART OF THAT IS PROVIDING 0
SCHOLARSHIP SPOTS.

27
00:03:01.981 --> 00:03:08.655
SO WHILE THOSE ARTISTS ARE HERE
DEVELOPING THEIR SHOWS, THEY
ALSO TEACH CLASSES.
SO WE'RE PROUD TO BE PARTNERING

28
00:03:08.655 --> 00:03:15.562
WITH THEM, THRILLED FOR WHAT IT
MEANS FOR THE ARTS AND CULTURAL
COMMUNITY HERE.

00:03:15.562 --> 00:03:20.500
ROOTS.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOU?
WHERE DO YOU SEE TAKING THIS
ORGANIZATION GOING FORWARD?

30
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:28.875
>> YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU SAID, A
GREAT PLACE LIKE CENTRAL
INDIANA, PARTNERING WITH AN
ORGANIZATION LIKE OURS, IT'S NOT

31
00:03:28.875 --> 00:03:34.581
JUST OUR MISSION TO FURTHER THE
ARTS AND CULTURE.
A GOOD MISSION IS A GOOD
MOVEMENT, AND WE WANT THE ARTS

32
00:03:34.581 --> 00:03:40.720
AND CULTURE TO FLOURISH HERE,
NOT JUST WITH BROADWAY AND
DISCOVERING BROADWAY BUT WITH
FILM, WITH TELEVISION.

33
00:03:40.720 --> 00:03:46.059
WE WANT THE BEST ARTISTS IN THE
WORLD COMING HERE AND COMING
FROM HERE.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

34
00:03:46.059 --> 00:03:53.066
>> IT'S A GREAT STORY.
DISCOVERING BROADWAY, THE
FOUNDER AND CEO OF DISCOVERING
BROADWAY IS JOEL KIRK.

35
00:03:53.066 --> 00:03:57.870
