COMMERCIAL/PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

 FOR THE FLORIDA BLOOD CENTERS

Scott Bunkelman of WPBF, Channel 25, an ABC affiliate in Palm Beach , contacted Linda West at The Barn Theatre looking for trained actors to film a commercial for the Florida Blood Centers.  The commercial was shot at two Stuart locations. One at Stuart's Memorial Park, and the other downtown near the Boardwalk, with the beautiful river in the background. The name of the narrated commercial is called Chances.  Florida Blood Centers wanted actors to do this.  All that was required was a warm and confident smile and ability to follow directions.  On Saturday, Sept. 16, 2006, seven Barn Theatre Volunteer Actors/Actresses gave their time freely for a great cause. 

 "The actors will portray heroes saving peoples lives by donating blood" said WPBF Director Scott Bunkelman.  Based on Linda West's background and experience in industrial and training films, she choose seven willing and caring volunteers to complete this mission.  The Barn Theatre is Stuart's oldest community theatre entering its 37th year of quality live theatre.  "It was our turn to give back  … and what a better way to say thank you to our Florida residents who have supported the performing arts throughout the Treasure Coast".  "It's our responsibility to serve the community as best we can,"  Linda West said. The commercial will be aired within two weeks.

Here is the finished commercial!!!
