Steven C. Beer is a television producer who works at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, where he negotiates rights deals for film and television projects. Steven C. Beer’s latest project is a reboot of Reading Rainbow, a beloved American children’s edutainment series from the early 80s to the early 2000s.
The reboot titled Reading Rainbow Live comes after a more than 15-year hiatus. The original show was hosted by actor and executive producer LeVar Burton, but creative director Amy Guglielmo says that the new series will feature a diverse cast of actors from different cultural backgrounds. The aim is to allow all the children watching to see themselves in the actors, called “The Rainbows,” so their engagement with the material is stronger.
Reading Rainbow Live also promises to feature a diverse range of stories and literature from different cultural backgrounds. The show will involve diverse creators behind the scenes and feature various authors and settings.
