CRAB KINGS
The Stanley brothers risk their lives along with the fishermen to film "Deadliest Catch". There they were last September, all duded up and cruising down Hollywood Boulevard in a stretch limousine on the way to the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies. Across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre was a billboard, bigger than life, showing camera toting Todd Stanley dangling over the roiling sea at the end of a long crane. "Discovery Channel," the billboard read "Discover what it takes to get the shot."
You won't want to miss this LiveWire!! Tune in, today at 5pm, when Ray will talk "Live" to the Stanley Brothers, Todd and Doug.

The Children's Nutcracker


Teens visions of plum role fulfilled
From the Sacramento Bee, November 30, 2006
by Edgar Sanchez
Kinsey Webb was only 3 when she first saw The Nutcracker.
A couple years later, she saw it again - and by then was dreaming of someday performing a lead role in the holiday classic ballet.
Her dream came true last year, when this Granite Bay High School sophomore, first performed as a Sugar Plum Fairy in the Sacramento Youth Ballet's "Children's Nutcracker" at the 24th Street Theatre in Sacramento.
Tune in to LiveWire on December 5th, and enjoy an enchanting interview with both Kinsey Webb & Prima Ballerina and Artistic Director, Sonja Bardin. Stay tuned to the end of the show and be treated to a snippet of this production and a stage full of costumed characters. See the Children's Nutcracker, Sunday December 9, 2007 at 2pm at the 24th Street Theatre. For more information call (916) 452-2840
