''Show Business'' is a performing arts magazine. Its editorial mission is to help guide young adult actors toward success in their performing arts careers. ''Show Business'' publishes contact listings for agents, managers, and casting directors, and entertainment-related news and information. ==History== Founded by Leo Shull in 1941, ''Show Business'' was first published as a four-page mimeographed daily paper out of the basemanet of the Walgreens Drugstore located in the heart of Times Square, New York City. Shull, a journalism graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, came to New York with aspirations of being a playwright. Audition information at the time was difficult to come by for newcomers, so Shull came up with the idea of a casting publication as a means of bringing job information directly to actors. In the early years of ''Show Business'', actors such as Lauren Bacall and Kirk Douglas would pick up copies for 5 cents apiece and sell them at Sardi's and other establishments in the theater district. The operation grew to include several other publications, including resource directories for theaters, agents, managers, and producers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amazon.com/WHOS-WHERE-Show-Business-1956/dp/B002EBFKSU )〕 In 1960, Mayor Robert Wagner issued an official proclamation that declared April 25 - May 2 "''Show Business'' Week" in New York City: :"Through this theatrical publication, untold thousands of aspiring artists, young men and women who have adopted the theater as a profession, have been aided and guided in a realistic approach to this media." In 1960, ''Show Business'' employees Allen Zwerdling and Ira Eaker left the publication to start a rival casting newspaper. Both are still published today. David Pearlstein is the acting editor and publisher. In 2011, ''Show Business'' changed from a weekly newspaper to a monthly magazine format with a glossy color cover. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Show Business (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
