Carrot Creative Blog

With a little over a month till performance time, UBRSTAR is gaining some great exposure in print and in the Bloggersphere. Most recently, both UBRSTAR and Carrot Creative were mentioned on Art Things, Considered, one of the more well-regarded and relevant blogs pertaining to all things artistic. We could not be more excited about the potential this project has in bringing Social Media to the Live Stage and vice versa, and we are delighted to have worked so closely with the New Haven Theater Company to develop both the creative vision and online representation of UBRSTAR. Here is a small piece of what Lex Leifheit of Art Things, Considered had to say about UBRSTAR:

Carrot Creative is excited to announce the launch of the UBRSTAR website. As the primary developer of content, design and social network implementation, we are proud to partner with The New Haven Theater Company to offer live theater and stage stardom to the world. UBRSTAR utilizes a troupe of both live stage performers and online performers that can become part of the performance by submitting online videos of their character of choice (given the specific performance). The live performance, in which live stage actors must interact with their online counterparts, is broadcast live through Ustream.tv for the global audience to view and simultaneously comment and provide content at the leisure of their own chair. This summer’s show will be a contemporary version of a Shakespeare classic entitled “Run to the Capulets, Raise Up the Montagues: The Investigation of Romeo and Juliet.”
