3-D THEATRICALS Announces Thursday, April 16 Line-Up

Southern California's 3-D Theatricals' 3D+U has announced its THURSDAY LINE-UP. The spotlight is on YOU and we can get through this together. Being socially distant may be the biggest role you will ever have to play. Let's come together while being apart with workshops, workouts, classes and talkbacks.

This is the schedule for Thursday, April 16, with events on Zoom, as noted.

9:00-9:50 AM (PST): MEDITATION AND MINDFUL CONVERSATION with Miracle Laurie May. Let's talk about the fear and uncertainty we're all going through right now - sending peace, love and light to the whole world, especially those sick and struggling during this time.

It is not often that careers go backwards but in the case of Eric Rutherford, that is exactly what happened. In a curious case of Benjamin Button-esque proportions, it seems that, now in his 50s, Eric Rutherford is having something of a renaissance. His salt and peppered Instagram currently has 237,000 followers and is growing daily. His appeal is heightened not simply by his physical appearance - Silver Fox doesn't even come close - instead, Rutherford's appeal seems to be as a style magnate and positive role model to every generation of men and women.

Though Rutherford started acting and modeling as young as 11-years-old, his story truly began courtesy of a chance meeting with Bruce Weber at a friend's South Beach Miami restaurant during the mid-1990s. Weber shaved the young model's famously thick hair and photographed him for an issue of L'Uomo Vogue the next week.

The following decade brought with it a successful stint as a commercial model and actor. Concurrently, he stepped into the world of Hollywood events, helping to shape some of the biggest press moments during that time. As a curious twist of fate, the production work began to outweigh the modeling and acting and by the early 2000s, Rutherford was collaborating with brands from Gap to Gucci and the iconic Oprah Winfrey. Production went hand in hand with consulting work and a full-time role at the Hollywood Reporter as Director of Events and Special Projects.

Fast forward fifteen years - due in part to the rise of social media and the expansive range of brand representatives - Rutherford has returned to his modeling roots with a renewed excitement to create content that connects with a new audience. Using his years of experience in building brand strategies and creative storytelling, he has partnered with a range of companies from American Express to Etihad Airways, Nordstrom to Swarovski.

Dedicated to bringing a positivity & 'best life' living to the fashion industry and culture at large, he has focused his platform to become a leader of inclusivity, equality and storytelling. He recently began production on an interview-style show in which he showcases conversations with key creatives who have risen above life's adversities and built brands of personal and professional success. This series will be released on all platforms with the goal of expanding the message and material beyond.

Julian Roca is an Emmy Award-winning commercial director with over 15 years of experience as a creative director, producer, and editor in the entertainment advertising world. He has directed a spectrum of highly visual campaigns but is most known for creating the original art for Universal Theatrical's blockbuster musical Wicked. He has hosted, produced, and created content for "RuPaul's Drag Race," Disney Channel, The Academy Awards, Taylor Swift, and the Grammys, to name a few. He recently was a producer on his first West End show starring Jeannette Bayardelle (Broadway lead in The Color Purple and Bob Dylan's Girl from the North Country) in Shida The Musical.

3:00-3:50PM (PST): MUSICAL DIRECTOR AND ACCOMPANIST ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION hosted by T.J. Dawson.
