Boston Hassle & BRAIN Arts Organization’s 1st Annual 24 Hour Performance Marathon Telethon will feature performers from every walk of life, performing for you SCATV Channel 3 and streamed SCATV’s website and also special interviews with performers on BostonFreeRadio.com, even via ROKU! You can tune into this telethon March 4th at 10am until March 5th at 10am.


This is serving as a launch for BRAIN Arts non-profit’s Membership Program, all funds raised at this event will be put directly toward the opening of their own performance space in the Boston area. Their initial fundraising goal for this initiative is $5000. Will you help us make it happen?


From the BRAIN Arts press release:


A take off on the likes of the WGBH Auction and Jerry Lewis’ telethons of yore (not to mention Weird Al’s spoofing of such in his film, UHF), our telethon will gather together a huge swath of performers, entertainers, local figures, eccentrics, artists, and musicians to create a 24 hour stream of human creativity that will leave viewers shocked and filled with wonder, with a distinct impression of the state of creativity, and performance in the Somerville, and Boston areas, and further, that state of such in New England as a whole.


Performances will include: comedy, magic, impersonation, music, drag shows, performance art, demonstrations, live science experiments, political visits, sketch comedy, juggling, non-profit group presentations, storytelling, dancing, re-creations, animations, short films, video art, cooking demonstrations, monologues, children’s reading time, puppetry, and more!


Specific performers will include the likes of: Sadie Dupuis (of Speedy Ortiz), Ben Hersey, Id M Theft Able, Sun Rad, children’s reading time w/ Jef Czekaj, Luxardo,, LSDV, Mike Simonelli, Casey Crawford, The Trofessor, Coorain Devin, the Firehouse, Neil Horsky, Lankville Daily News, Canary Bros., Kevin Driscoll, Comb Man, Cotton Candy, Listening Woman, Casey Crawford, Serengeti, Rob Noyes + MANY MORE


STILL ACCEPTING PRE-RECORDED PERFORMERS & SUBMISSIONS, as well as AUDIO & VIDEO VOLUNTEERS. We are also looking for CASH SPONSORS AND IN-KIND DONATIONS--please get in touch with us so we can tell you more about how your business can get in touch with our diverse, unique, and passionate audience of artists, musicians, and fans across the globe. Please contact: [email protected] regarding performance and [email protected] regarding volunteering and sponsorship.


This is a FREE & PUBLIC event, BUT space will be severely limited in the studios of SCATV pretty much for the duration of the event. With that said we still encourage our compatriots to stop by for a visit (they might even become part of the event), and we hear there is even talk of a temporary tent village appearing while the TELETHON takes place in the concrete park that abuts the station!
