3 Redneck Tenors' Los Angeles Show to Raise Awareness for Residents Facing Eviction at the Motion Picture Home and Hospital in Calabasas, California.

(March 12, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA) – The much anticipated, critically acclaimed 3 Redneck Tenors: A New Musical Adventure arrives at the Canyon Club Thursday, March 19, 2009 as part of a current, highly successful, multi-city, U.S. tour.

Catapulting into national fame during their competitive participation in the second season of the hit NBC reality series, America’s Got Talent, the cast includes veteran Broadway and Opera stars Matthew Lord, John Wilkerson and Alex Bumpas, with Special Guest Dinny McGuire (AKA Billy Joe, Billy Billie, Billy Bob and The Colonel) in a foot stompin', knee slappin' uproariously funny musical redneck romp, with the tunes of Elvis to Puccini; Country to Opera (C'opera if you will); from Paris (Texas that is) all the way to their triumphant debut at New York City's famous Carn-iggy Hall. Popular comedy team Mack & Jamie (Mack Dryden and Jamie Alcroft), known to television audiences from the Tonight Show and their own hit syndicated series Comedy Break, will open the evening.

The 3 Redneck Tenors’ Canyon Club engagement (the second of only four California tour stops) is distinguished by the fact that The Tenors, along with Mack & Jamie, have made a heartfelt commitment to raise awareness about the closure of the Long Term and Acute Care units and the consequential negative impact on the current residents and those who work in the motion picture and television industry. Since January 14, 2009 when the Motion Picture and Television Fund (MPTF) in Calabasas, CA announced the closing, the MPTF’s 88 year-old mission of “Taking Care of Our Own” seemed destined to dissipate into hopelessness. As a result, families of Motion Picture Home residents and others in the Industry standing up to the MPTF’s historic promise, formed the coalition “Saving The Lives of Our Own” to not only keep their loved ones in place, but to ensure that Long Term Care remains open for future generations in need.

(September 4, 2008) Reality TV veteran LMNO Productions announced a television development deal with Master Performances Company's 3 Redneck Tenors to create a reality or scripted series. LMNO is known for programs such as "Boot Camp," "The Littlest Groom" and "Kids Say the Darndest Things,"

"We've been constantly trying to identify new areas and try to stay fresh," said LMNO president Eric Schotz.

The production company is high on 3 Redneck Tenors, who gained national attention via their appearance on "America's Got Talent. Schotz said he sees a potential variety show project or music-based series for the Tenors, who are all classically trained opera singers -- but with mullets.

"Everyone's looking for the next thing," Schotz said. "These guys had tremendous crossover appeal when they were on NBC, and they're sold out in Vegas and across the country. Something like this is not on the air -- comedy and music combined," he added. Schotz said he also sees a potential scripted project for the Tenors as well.

"Can we put them into the sitcom world?" he said. "We'll develop it out in two parallel lines. The beauty of this is you can sell in more than one location." Read Variety Article
