Islip.TV is proud to announce that two of its publications, MyLITV.com and BroadwayandMain.com received a total of three NY EMMY nominations.

We are exceptionally excited about the Academy's recognition of BroadwayandMain.com's backstage interviews of the cast of "Escape From Margaritaville" at the Gateway Playhouse in Bellport,NY. 

"Regional theater brings Broadway actors to America's Main streets and they are also an driver of local economies" says Executive Producer Waldo Cabrera. "We are proud to highlight these exceptional performances."

The other two nominations were in partnership with the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington. Dr. Jud Newborn, the curator of special events, hosts some of TV and Hollywoods greatest stars. The celebrities show one of their iconic films followed by Q&A. Then the evening is wrapped up with a meet and greet.

Two of the stars were out of this world, but their stories were down to earth. Star Trek's George Takei discussed the years he spent in a Japanese-American internment camp during World War II. Then the son of Leonard Nemoy (Mr. Spock) - Adam Nemoy, shared the challenges of growing up with such a famous father. The big bombshell was that father and son were both in the 12-step program as they battled addiction.

The second nomination recognizes a compelling feature on nearly a dozen high school seniors excelling in their Virtual Enterprises program. These students credit their success to early exposure to entrepreneurship during their middle school years through Virtual Enterprises Junior Ventures. VEJV introduces students to the fundamentals of running a business, including crafting business plans, marketing strategies, and financial statements. The program also encourages strategic partnerships with other VEJV companies. The students, whether they were from the Bronx, Queens, or Brooklyn unanimously agreed that this early business education has equipped them to face the challenges of college and future careers with confidence.
