Announcing
the sneak preview tour for On Your Marc, the new feature-length documentary that
intimately captures the life, career and legacy of TV icon Marc Summers.
Summers will present the film in person, coupled with an array of singular
events, during a coast-to-coast preview screening tour revolving around the
31st anniversary of Summers’ Double Dare this October.
In
On Your Marc, the Indiana native looks back on his "messy" ups and
downs, as he powers through the nerve-racking production and opening night of
"Everything In Its Place: The Life & Slimes of Marc Summers," his
hilariously illuminating one-man show, co-written by rising Broadway stars Alex
Brightman (Tony-nominated lead in School of Rock: The Musical) and composer
Drew Gasparini.
Like
his two best-known television series, Double Dare and Unwrapped, On Your Marc
combines a scrappy, “anything goes” appeal with that of an incisive,
informative look at the nature of being in the spotlight. Along the way,
Summers reveals how he survived cancer, a recent near-fatal car crash and his
lifelong bout with OCD.
Reflecting
the unconventional quality of Summers’ career, the On Your Marc tour will
showcase a unique array of live events in each city. These include performances
by local bands, Q&As with special guests, celebrity hosts, interactive
Double Dare type games ... and even Summers singing along with one-man show
"Everything In Its Place" co-writers Alex and Drew.
Our
goal in producing the tour was to forego the conventional path of film
festivals, and bring the movie directly to the fans. Festivals, conventions,
streaming services and perhaps a more traditional theatrical run with a
distributor will all likely be explored later on. But for now, we want to
celebrate the film’s completion, the impact of Marc Summers and the community
still building around what he stands for in what will be memorable evenings
throughout the nation!
