The players caught the attention of Walt Disney Co. executives who hired them as featured performers at Walt Disney World’s MGM Studios, Orlando. The group has made national television appearances with Ed McMahon and Wayne Brady and performed a reggae-style weather report on ESPN2’s morning show “Cold Pizza.” Toxic Audio won the 2004 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience for its off-Broadway show at the John Houseman Theatre, New York City.
