United States of America (Press Release) August 18, 2007 --
Tamarac, FL -- A new children’s television program, The Pig Club, will be videotaping from 10:00 A.M. until 11:00 A.M. for 13 Saturday mornings this fall from September 15, 2007 through December 15th, 2007 at the Tamarac Theatre of Performing Arts in Tamarac, Florida. (No taping on September 22, 2007 - the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur.)
The show, geared towards children ages 5 to 11, promises to fill the gap left by television icons Fred Rogers and Captain Kangaroo. "It's a unique program", says health educator and creator, Michael Marine of Weston, Florida. “There is a need to teach our children positive values and to counter the incessant advertising of fattening and junk foods. The Pig Club is entertaining, but more importantly teaches children the truth about the benefits of exercise, nutrition and treating each other with respect.”
“We have an opportunity to use the power of the media for improving the health of our children, the future adults and leaders of the world”. We use humor and competition to entertain along with a powerful message of personal responsibility. Children compete in 4 competitions to be crowned, “Pig of the Week”. These include pie eating, mudslinging, pig trivia and pig poise. It’s great fun, but parents will appreciate the educational messages in the skits and songs.
The live action show allows every child in the audience a chance to be crowned the winner. The show begins with all children in the audience standing up and competing to be selected as the four contestants that go on stage. Children that don’t go on stage still get to sing, cheer and participate in the fun. And less than two weeks after the taping, they can watch themselves on television! The show will be televised on Monday afternoons at 4:30 p.m. on cable television (ION – WPXM – Miami/Ft. Lauderdale) starting October 1, 2007.
99 seats are available for each of the 13 Saturday mornings at a nominal charge of $5 per ticket. Call 954-942-9578 for tickets. Seating begins at 9:45 Saturday mornings and the doors close promptly at 10:00 a.m. for the hour long taping.
