Part interactive game show, part memoir, The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers follows the infamous host from the set of the children's game show Double Dare to the Food Network, where he has now worked for more than 20 years. Starring Summers, the production relies heavily on audience participation to bring iconic moments in television history to life.
The creative team includes director Chad Rabinovitz, set designer Christopher Rhoton, lighting designer Jeffrey Small, and co-sound designers David Sheehan and Hide J Nakajo. The show is general managed by LDK Productions' Lisa Dozier Shacket and Michael Shannon.
The Life and Slimes of Marc Summers is produced by Lisa Dozier Shacket, with Guy Fieri, Jeremy Wein/Existence Media in association with Marlene and Gary Cohen, Christopher Rhoton, and Joe Trentacosta.
The work was originally developed and produced at Constellation Stage and Screen in Bloomington Indiana.
