An experienced music and television producer, Steven C. Beer is a partner at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP. In 2022, the children’s program Reading Rainbow returns on streaming platforms, with Steven C. Beer as an executive producer.
The producers revived Reading Rainbow, renamed Reading Rainbow Live, to address academic g aps created by the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially aired on PBS Kids between 1983 and 2006, and hosted by actor LeVar Burton, Reading Rainbow centered each episode around a certain book and theme and featured a cast of child actors alongside Burton. The new version retains the same themes but adapts the format to suit children from a new era by integrating textual and video audience participation.
Another way Reading Rainbow Live will differ from its prior version is its dedication to diversity. The books, chosen from lists created by leading literacy organizations, feature diverse authors and casts of characters. The rotating cast of various comedic performers will also incorporate songs and trips to relevant locations. Reading Rainbow Live will livestream on Looper, the same platform where audience members can interact with the cast, and recordings of those episodes will be posted afterward.
