Since the show has been up these last six months, I've gotten many questions, most of which have been answered again, and again, and yet again - - just so you know - you do not have to be a member to submit and most questions are answered on our FAQs page.

This is where aspiring writers, actors, directors, filmmakers - be they video or film - and voiceover talents have an opportunity to become a part of our continuous evolution. Your talents could be exposed on our new, updated, televised show or, on our stage at our theatre - Riprap Studio Theatre in North Hollywood, California as our JUDGES SELECT THE NEXT GREAT STAGE PLAY to be produced at Riprap Studio Theatre. From the beginning, it's been our goal to help talented people find exposure to the entertainment industry while entertaining our audiences. We have recently realized that our evolution will never end. Every day we find new ways to help aspiring talents. We will stop waiting for perfection and start working on all of our exposure opportunities and let time and hard work apply the spit and polish to them. A note to our members and return visitors. We will be adding new material, pretty much on a weekly basis and we don't want you to miss out. So our advice is to return to this site frequently. For previews and excerpts from our broadcast click on the VEOH screen above. If you subscribe to our broadcast, you'll receive notices everytime we add a new clip.

The weekly broadcast reaches about 3.5+ million homes every Friday which is a potential of 8 million viewers from San Diego to Santa Barbara and all the movers and shakers in between - you know Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Malibu, etc. Meet our JUDGES here.

I am very excited about having KVMD Television, Channel 23 become the home of our weekly televised program. Riprap Entertainment TV began airing every Friday at 3:30 p.m. on July 7, 2006 as Riprap Writers' Playhouse on KVMD in Los Angeles - we changed the name to Riprap Entertainment TV after Thanksgiving because we're broader than our Playhouse beginnings and we wanted the name of the show to reflect that broader appeal. KVMD and Riprap Entertainment have also agreed that Riprap Entertainment TV will air Monday through Friday as soon as Riprap Entertainment TV is ready. Why am I so excited? Because KVMD reaches 3.5 million homes from Santa Barbara to Hollywood and down to San Diego, California. That amounts to potentially 8 million viewers, and covers the areas where most Hollywood movers and shakers dwell.

Riprap Entertainment TV EVERY FRIDAY on KVMD TV, Channel 23 from 3:30 PM to 4:00 PM. (KVMD airs on 31 on the Dish Network. Click here for ALL channel listings). Click here for KVMD TV.
