You and Media is proud to announce the launch of "Live from the CenTre" a new weekly comedy web series premiering March 1, 2012! Created by and starring Dale Boyer, Rob Baker, Adam Cawley, Chris Earle, and Brian G. Smith. Produced by Brian G. Smith. Directed by Chris Earle
This hilarious improvised web series launches March 1 with webisodes, featured videos, articles and more at livefromtheCenTre.com
"Live from the CenTre" is created by five of Toronto's most acclaimed improvisor/writer/actors. The series is set at a downtown "alternative" office co-op which houses a multitude of progressive businesses all linked by a common goal: to make the world a better place.
Viewers are introduced to the idealistic member-tenants of the CenTre (all played by Baker, Boyer, and Cawley) through its in-house web talk show "Live from the CenTre", hosted by the genial B. Gordon Mackie (Smith). As the guests struggle to explain their bizarre, sometimes completely delusional dreams of changing the world, we learn that not only is the road to hell paved with good intentions - it also has a Bixi bike lane and bamboo speed bumps.
