A partner with the New York City-based law firm of Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith LLP, Steven C. Beer assists clients with legal matters in music, film, and television. In addition to his work at the firm, Steven C. Beer serves as executive producer on a reboot of the classic children’s TV show, Reading Rainbow. The new incarnation of the show is Reading Rainbow Live.
LeVar Burton hosted the original program, but the new version features an ensemble of comedic talents. The move to include multiple hosts from different backgrounds relates to the show’s creators wanting children to identify with the cast.
The show, now available online, is keeping its original 25-minute length, with segments that cover educational topics in music, culture, field trips, and a Book of the Day. The new program also includes an interactive element. Children can communicate with the program through a virtual platform in which they can ask questions, follow dance routines, and receive rewards for correctly answering questions.
