Title: NBC Universal and The PIT Diversity Scholarship Program Candidate: DB Produced by: NeoWorldProductions, Inc. Director of Photography: Kato Tomoyuki Edited by: Aldo Romero (May 2008) As part of their new Talent Diversity Initiative, NBC Universal announced its Improv Scholarship Program in partnership with The Peoples Improv Theater (The PIT) in New York City to support and promote diversity within the arts. NBC Universal and The PIT will each sponsor one student for The PIT's entire year-long improv program. Classes are taught by some of comedy's newest and greatest talents including Kurt Braunohler, Ptolemy Slocum, Rebekka Johnson and Ali Farahnakian. All performers, particularly talented women and people of color with a strong desire to study improv, can apply. The candidate had to submit an official Improv Scholarship application along with a five-minute DVD in which the candidate explains why he or she should be chosen and performs an original comedic work. The two scholarship recipients will be selected by The PIT and NBC Universal executives, and awarded in September. The NBC Talent Diversity Initiative was created to promote on-camera diversity through community involvement and development, showcasing non-traditional casting choices and creating programs to raise awareness at NBC Universal and within the entire entertainment community. This initiative is part of NBC Universal's ongoing commitment to diversity, both on and off camera.
