The National Theatre for Children’s Mad About Money TV Special will air on some North Dakota CBS affiliates this Fall! This airing of the TV show, which we taped in Seattle last November, will coincide with a live Mad About Money tour in North Dakota. Incidentally, that’s the tour which Mike Rylander and I did last year. Speaking of Mike, he was tapped to record new host segments for the TV Special.

While my involvement with Killer Joe has prevented me from touring Mad About Money with NTC again this Fall, I am currently in the midst of rehearsal for a one-day Mad About Money “special.” Next Friday, NTC staffer Nate Metcalf (pictured above) and I will take the live show to Omaha, Nebraska, to pitch it to potential clients down there. The hardest part will be not laughing at each other.

He and I previously performed another “special” here in Minnesota, test-driving a new financial literacy show entitled Crazy About Credit, which is NTC’s first show aimed at high schoolers. One of the highlights of that show was Nate unapologetically exposing his midriff.

You can see a Crazy About Credit promo video of Nate’s and my performance here: http://www.nationaltheatre.com/ntccom/videos/crazycredit/crazyvid.swf
