Q& A Lisa Rawlins of Warner Bros. Entertainment Tell us about your role at Warner Bros. I am the Senior Vice President of Public Affairs at the studio, which is comprised of government affairs, corporate responsibility, philanthropy, community affairs, and environmental sustainability. I came to Warner Bros. in 1990 to oversee film and television production-related issues, and my responsibilities have grown since then. What's the best thing about working at the studio? Warner Bros. has been an institution within the entertainment industry for more than 90 years. Our company has grown and evolved dramatically 120 JUNE 2014 usairwaysmag.com Visit AdventuresByDisney.com for more details. TV Tapings A decidedly cheaper way to see your favorite TV stars up close is to attend a free live taping. Lots of popular sitcoms are filmed in Burbank, and studios are always in need of an enthusiastic audience. If you've got a laugh that you think could cut it in prime time, this is your chance to let it shine. Three companies - Audience Associates, Audiences Unlimited, and On Camera Audiences - do almost all of the audience booking in Los Angeles, and each offers tickets free of charge. No show films year-round, so be sure to visit the websites listed to find out what tickets are currently available. Remember that tickets for many of the hottest into a global content producer, but the Burbank lot also serves as a reminder of our rich history. So on any given day, I may see one of our contemporary shows filming a scene on New York Street, which was originally built in the 1930s for our James Cagney-era gangster films. I take great pride in witnessing firsthand our enduring commitment to preserving the studio's history as we move into the future. What's your favorite part of the Warner Bros. VIP Studio Tour? Our tour is a really extensive behind-the-scenes experience, so it's hard to choose just one favorite part ... but I am partial to the backlot stops. We have a jungle, a Midwestern neighborhood, a fourstory property house, and a costume department. Never a dull moment around our offices! Burbank is home to more than 1,000 media companies. Just what is it about the town behind the tinsel that makes it so appealing to the entertainment industry? Burbank has a long history with the entertainment industry - several major networks and studios have called it home for decades - and it's a great testament to the surrounding community. The mutual respect and collaborative efforts between local businesses and residents has created a strong, enduring relationship that continues to evolve. Burbank holds a unique position as a really small town within the larger urban landscape. http://www.AdventuresByDisney.com http://www.D23.com/events http://www.usairwaysmag.com
