Lyle B Hill
,
started his Producer / Director career in TV commercial production on shows with Jackie Gleason and Jonathan Winters.
Throughout the years he won many awards for innovative commercial production and daytime serial producing. Lyle was Producer of several TV dramatic series, including The Edge of Night, As
The World Turns, Another World and Somerset. For the eight years he produced As
The World Turns, it was the number one rated daytime show for all of that time.
He was Executive Producer of Another World and Somerset for a total of ten years. While he produced Another World, it won the Best Daytime Series award for two consecutive years. During this period, he cast such actors as Larry Hagman, Martin Sheen, Richard Thomas, James Earl Jones, Ted Danson, Sigourney Weaver, Jamison Parker, Audrey Landers, Brock Peters, Susan Sullivan, Charles Durning, Gloria DeHaven, JoBeth Williams, etc. He also devoted time to lecturing on the subject of acting at various universities, and to teaching acting technique at Weist-Barron in New York.
Because he produced one, and for many years two shows daily, for 20 consecutive years without summer hiatus, he probably has produced more hours of TV programming than any other producer. He has been Executive Director, teacher and co-owner of WBH since 1977.

During her teens she had several hit records, with one of them reaching number one on the national charts. She recorded for RCA, Epic, and United Artists, doing appearances on television shows from coast to coast, as well as countless personal appearances with stars like Bob Hope, Dick Clark, Elvis Presley and many
others.
Andrea has done many commercials, nightclub tours and summer stock all over the U.S., Canada and the Caribbean and Bahama Islands. On the academic side, she studied with top acting and vocal coaches in New York and holds
