Origins…
The concept and creation of the Game Showsters happened during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic when all live entertainment acts and venues stopped production and were forced to go dark. Global quarantining meant not being able to enjoy the experience of a live performance at a concert hall or theater.
This need for live entertainment gave way for a new type of medium: Virtual Performing. Initially, these ‘Zoom shows’ were poorly done. Many on-stage acts just didn’t translate well on a small laptop screen, and the technology was often a confusing mess for both the artist and the audience.
At this time, a former Major League Baseball mascot, Bromley Lowe, was producing a successful school assembly program called THE YOJO SHOW. Bromley felt that the virtual setting wasn’t a good fit for his production, but he saw an interesting potential of this new online format. So, he created a TV studio to pursue a life-long desire to become a professional game show host!
The idea was to take the educational themes of The YoJo Show and adapt them into a live, interactive, kid-friendly game show. It would be glitzy, colorful, full of bells and whistles, funny, and hopefully charmingly cheesy at times. The name of this new production says it all: It’s The Game Showsters!
The Game Showsters debut performances were very well received. The TV technology and colorful graphics were effective to enhance educational content, and the interactive game show format worked great to establish a genuine audience-performer connection. As a result, The Game Showsters performed over 200 livestream assemblies to schools in 26 states during their first full school year.
