John Schneider News

In January of 2009, the new music world lost one of its greatest champions. The late philanthropist, photographer and writer Betty Freeman was without question the most significant American advocate for contemporary classical music in the second half of the 20th century. In her will, Ms. Freeman requested that no funeral be held, but instead a party be thrown in her memory. REDCAT is delighted to honor Ms. Freeman's request with Party for Betty!, a celebration of the life, work and legacy of Betty Freeman held at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater on Wednesday, May 5, 2010 at 8:30 pm.

Spike TV presents an ambitious new slate of non-scripted and scripted original pilots and projects in development, targeting the network's guy-centric audience. The non-scripted shows have a distinctive infotainment-theme while much of the scripted fare focuses on sports-related comedies, a genre scarcely seen on television today.

Spike TV will telecast a one-hour special, 'Crash Test: Real Wrecks, Real Stakes' on Tuesday, April 27 at 11:00pm ET/PT. The one hour show, produced by Reveille Productions, features an elite team of stuntmen and scientists risking life and limb to duplicate extraordinary accidents to find out what really happened. The show is created by renowned actor, singer and producer, John Schneider ('Dukes of Hazzard'), who serves as executive producer.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Broadway vet John Schneider is set to star in the upcoming feature film Doonby directed and written by British filmmaker Peter Mackenzie.
