COLIN MOCHRIE AND BRAD SHERWOOD OF ‘WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY?’ TO APPEAR AT THE PEACE CENTER ON SATURDAY, JUNE 14 AT 8 P.M. Pre-Sale Tickets Currently Available. General Public Tickets on Sale Saturday, March 22 at 10:00 a.m. GREENVILLE, S.C., (March 18, 2014) — Two masters of improv comedy, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood of “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” have teamed up to present a night of hilarious improvisational comedy with their live tour, Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood: The Two Man Group Tour. The performance is coming to the Peace Center for the Performing Arts on Saturday, June 14 at 8 p.m. Pre-sale tickets are now available for Peacekeepers and may be purchased by calling (864) 467-3029. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Saturday, March 22 at 10 a.m. at www.peacecenter.org, by phone at (864) 467-3000 or at the Peace Center Box Office located at 300 S. Main Street, Greenville. Tickets start at $35. Millions of fans enjoyed Colin Mochrie in the triumphant return of “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” last summer, which brought huge ratings to The CW channel. The show has been renewed for a second season, which will also feature Brad Sherwood who was a regular co-star on ABC’s “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” along with Mochrie. In this uproarious live show, Mochrie and Sherwood will take contributions from the audience to create hilarious and original scenes. Throughout the evening, the show becomes truly interactive as audience members are called to the stage to participate in the fun. Colin Mochrie began his improv career when he was first introduced to Ryan Stiles by a friend and the two teamed up. Shortly after doing Expo '86, Colin moved to Toronto. There, he auditioned for The Second City, a famous North American comedy theater, where Stiles was working at the time. Mochrie worked at Second City for three years. Mochrie's first appearance on “Whose Line Is It Anyway,” the British version, was in 1991. His role on the American “Whose Line” got off to a rocky start when ABC wanted to drop Mochrie because they thought the comedian looked too old and not hip enough. Thankfully those involved in the show held their ground, and ABC was smart enough to see that talent and creativity were more important than 'hip' and the fans agreed, making Mochrie a popular mainstay on the American “Whose Line” stage. Brad Sherwood was a regular cast member on ABC's “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” as well on the British version on Comedy Central as well and will be seen on the second upcoming season of the new “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” on The CW. His credits include “The Drew Carey Show,” “The Green Screen Show,” over 100 appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” numerous appearances on VH-1’s “I Love The 80’s’ & 90’s,” “The Price is Right” and guest hosting “Talk Soup.” Their DVD, “Two Man Group: Live and Dangerous Comedy,” is available in stores now.

Basically, I’m talking about a few true dance clubs — quite hip, mind you — plus a good supply of live music venues (where the city shines), and bars and pubs with char- acter. You also find a decent slate of theater offerings. In fact, in an effort to support the performing arts, the tourism folks have developed an entire entertainment season (a.k.a. fall and winter), and Yaletown’s been dubbed the city’s “entertainment district” because of its proximity to many event venues. Where should you go to find nightlife? Dance clubs increasingly litter the Yaletown, Robson Street, and downtown districts, while Kitsilano is more a place for an organic brew or a glass of wine. More upscale areas, such as South Granville and the West End, offer the sorts of bars where you may want to wear a jacket or at least shuck your sneakers — places where a drink can cost more than a meal sets you back in other parts of town. Finally, strip joints have long been fixtures on the fringes of down- town, Yaletown, and East Hastings — not that you were thinking of going to one ofCOPYRIGHTED those.

This study is the third annual study of diversity of characters in prime time television programming. The study examined the first two episodes of each prime time entertainment series airing on the six broadcast networks. The findings indicate that despite ongoing emphasis, encouragement, and pressure on the part of media advocates, civil rights groups, government officials, and even some entertainment industry leaders, the networks have yet to produce a prime time

Upon graduating from Arundel High School in 1982, Sykes continued her education at Hampton University, a historically black institution in Hampton, Virginia, and earned a degree in marketing there in 1986. She immediately secured a job as a procurement officer for the National Security Agency (NSA) but quickly realized that her career did not lie in a government office. In 1987 she went on stage for the first time, doing a stand-up routine in a talent contest in Washington. Although she did not win, "a light went on" and she saw her destiny. That her second outing was a complete failure made her understand that pursuing a career in entertainment would be challenging, but, she stated, "It gave me a sense of how much I wanted to do it." While developing her skills at stand-up on nights and weekends, Sykes retained her job at the NSA until 1992, when she moved to New York to work on the comedy circuit there.

For Immediate Release
‘HEALING HANDS’ CAST BIOS EDDIE CIBRIAN (Buddy Hoyt) – A versatile actor who continues to expand his career in television and film, Eddie Cibrian is fast becoming one of the leading young actors in the business today. Born and raised in California, Cibrian began his acting career at the age of 12, landing a Coca-Cola commercial on his very first audition. Following the success of that spot, Cibrian appeared in numerous other national commercials. Upon entering high school, Cibrian decided to put his acting career on hold to pursue his other passion: Sports. He excelled in every sport he competed in – football, baseball, soccer and volleyball – and graduated high school with several All-State honors. Cibrian continued his successful athletic career when he entered UCLA’s football program in the fall of 1991. Unfortunately, an injury during his first year on the team left Cibrian sidelined, so he decided to return to acting. Cibrian immediately landed several national commercials and soon after, starred in Malcolm- Jamal Warner’s Emmy® Award winning television special “Kids Killing Kids.” The attention Cibrian garnered for his appearance on Warner’s special led to several soap opera auditions, including one for “The Young and the Restless.” The show’s producers were impressed with Cibrian’s acting abilities and created a character for him on the show, that of the conniving Matt Clark. Within three months, Cibrian had received so much fan mail that CBS signed him to a three-year contract. After appearing on “The Young and the Restless” for two years, Cibrian starred in several television shows including “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “Baywatch Nights,” “Beverly Hills, 90210,” “Sabrina The Teenage Witch” and “Saved by the Bell: The College Years.” It was not long before Aaron Spelling offered Cibrian the starring role of Cole Deschanel on the NBC daytime drama, “Sunset Beach.” Just five months after his debut, TV Guide named Cibrian one of Daytime’s 12 Hottest Stars.

(“SBS”) seek modification of the television market of WSBS-TV, Key West, Florida (the “Station”), to reinstate 41 communities (the “Communities”) located in the Miami- Ft. Lauderdale Designated Market Area (the “Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA” or the “DMA”) that were previously deleted from the Station’s television market by virtue of a series of market modification decisions released in 1996 and 1997. SBS seeks recognition that the Communities located in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties form an integral part of WSBS-TV’s natural market. The elimination of the Communities prior to SBS’s ownership of the Station cannot diminish WSBS-TV’s longstanding service to the Communities, to which WSBS-TV provides significant locally-produced news and public affairs programming targeted to residents of the Communities, and where the Station has developed many substantial advertising relationships with local businesses throughout the Communities within the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale DMA. Cable operators have obviously long recognized that a clear nexus exists between the Communities and WSBS-TV’s programming because they have been voluntarily carrying WSBS-TV continuously for at least a decade and continue to carry the Station today.
