As part of the NoHo International Theatre & Arts Festival 2000, members of the TV Academy's peer groups will give the public a behind-the-scenes look at TV production. The Academy's plaza and driveways at the corner of Magnolia and Lankershim Boulevards will be transformed into a fairground featuring TV crafts and technology, daring stunt performances, soap opera stars, location TV station personalities, and auditions for "Wheel of Fortune". Don't be surprised if you encounter look-a-like actors playing Lucille Ball, Jay Leno, and Jack Benny around the fairgrounds. The Academy's "fair within a fair" will run from noon to 8:00 p.m. on June 24 and June 25.

Highlights:

Stunt performances on both days featuring trampoline stunts, wire work, and classic fight scenes. Don’t miss the free fall from a 54-foot crane and the sky dive by a parachute stunt team @ 4:30 p.m. in the Academy parking lot near Lankershim Boulevard.

The "Wheel of Fortune" Wheel Mobile will be in the Academy Plaza both days to interview festival goers for contestant slots.
